Support for new Ronald McDonald House in Regina

Ronald MacDonald House Golf Tournament Fundraiser

CARLYLE — Trevor and Lisa Morrison hosted a golf tournament on Sept. 29 to raise funds for the new Ronald McDonald House in Regina.

The event was a huge success, drawing 108 golfers and generosity from sponsors across southeast Saskatchewan. All the sponsors made the event possible, especially the Carlyle District Lions Club, who supplied lots of hard work and dedication.

Seven holes were sponsored for $10,000 each, while another nine holes were sponsored for $20,000 each. The holes were converted to par 3s. Major contributors, including Merit Ford and Carlyle Chevrolet Buick GM, even added some extra excitement by sponsoring brand-new vehicles.

Marcelline and Brad Zimmer joined the tournament to represent Ronald McDonald House Children's Charities, underscoring the importance of this event in raising awareness and support for the new facility in Regina. Thanks to the support from the Saskatchewan Lions Foundation, who have applied for a grant from the Lions Clubs International Foundation, the proceeds from this tournament – an impressive $90,000 after matching support – will benefit not only the new Ronald McDonald House in Regina but also the facility in Prince Albert.

“Without the volunteers and the wonderful support from the sponsors in southeast Saskatchewan, this event would not have been possible," said Trevor Morrison.

As the community continues to show its support, Trevor Morrison also highlighted an exciting upcoming event – the Carlyle Cougar reunion fundraiser happening next summer, which will raise funds for enhancements to the new pre-kindergarten to Grade 12 school in Carlyle.
