All proceeds from this special event will support Community Care’s Meals on Wheels program, providing nourishment and connection for seniors and adults with disabilities in the City of Peterborough, West Selwyn Township, the Municipality of Trent Lakes and Curve Lake First Nation. Last year’s tournament raised $20,000.

The event is named after Gary 'The Diller’ Dalliday for his contributions to the Peterborough community. He was a CHEX-TV sportscaster, the radio voice of the Peterborough Petes and a longtime supporter of local sports. He was an avid volunteer with Community Care Peterborough and its Meals on Wheels program.

Gary’s grandson, Nick Bozec, inspired the event to honour his grandfather’s legacy.

“My father was involved with a number of community causes and Community Care’s Meals on Wheels program, in particular, was near and dear to his heart,” said Tim Dalliday. “My Dad would be very proud of the money we’re raising to help seniors stay in their own homes.”

“This tournament is a true reflection of Gary’s legacy of supporting our local community,” said Danielle Belair, CCP CEO. “The Dalliday family, our sponsors, and all the golfers are making a difference in the lives of seniors and adults living with disabilities. We are very grateful for their participation and generosity.”

The day begins with a BBQ lunch at 11:30 a.m. followed by a 1:00 p.m. shotgun start.

Participants will enjoy 18 holes of golf, a cart, two meals, prizes, and more—capped off with a dinner and awards ceremony. Golfers can register online.
