Darling and Sentinel Risk Insurance Fundraises To Food For Kids With Revival Of Golf Tournament After Three-Year Hiatus
/After three years on the shelf, Darling Insurance and Sentinel Risk Insurance has come back with their annual charity golf tournament at the Peterborough Golf & Country Club on Thursday.
The last tournament was in 2019 where proceeds were split between Community Care Peterborough and The Peterborough Humane Society. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented the annual event from launching for the past three years.
“It's been something we've been doing for over 25 years,” said Peter Blodgett, Darling Insurance owner. “What we do is try and give back to a community that's been awfully good to us.”
Roughly over 100 golfers hit the links in a tournament to support of Food for Kids Peterborough and Food for Kids Kawartha Lakes.
“With what's going on in the world these days and the economic scenarios that we deal with in this community, we just felt that doing something for kids was just a worthwhile effort,” explained Blodgett.
A count has yet to be fully tallied for money raised but Darling Insurance in its last outing raised roughly $20,000 in 2019.
Darling Insurance wanted to thank the following organizations for helping put on the tournament:
Wawanesa Insurance
CAA Insurance
The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group
Intact Insurance
Aviva Canada
Gore Mutual Insurance
LLF Lawyers
Heartland Farm Mutual Insurance
