A Caddyshack-themed golf event has raised $110,000 for the Children’s Treatment Center Foundation of Chatham-Kent.
The sixth-annual Festival of Golf, held Sept. 9 at Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club, featured a Rodney Dangerfield impersonator greeting guests at the 12th hole.
The event included 18 holes of themed games and entertainment, food and drink stations, followed by dinner and music by Southwind Buoys.
“We had a really great turnout again this year, and are very grateful to the sponsors, golfers and volunteers who returned to support this fun event.” Mike Genge, foundation president, said in a news release.
“Monies raised from Festival of Golf will go towards essential programming and services that our kids need and use every day.”
Proceeds from the event go towards therapy and services for children and youth, including social work, therapeutic recreation and music therapy.
Guests could also win door prizes, including $25,000, a Star Wars autographed poster, golf clubs and a Traeger barbecue.
The winning team for the day was from Windmill Cabinets.
