The event took place on Sept. 8 at Kawartha Golf Club and was originally announced on Aug. 7 by Mayor Jeff Leal at PRHC.

“I want to sincerely thank all the participants and sponsors who so generously supported the PRHC Foundation’s Campaign for PRHC, helping our regional hospital continue to deliver high-quality health care right here in our community,” said Leal. “Special thanks to Nigel Lister for organizing the tournament, and to the PRHC Foundation staff for their support.”

The tournament drew roughly 100 golfers to support the cause. In August, the PRHC Foundation announced that it had extended its fundraising goal of $60 million to $70 million.

“We’re grateful to Mayor Leal and the organizers, participants and sponsors of the Peterborough Mayoral Invitational Charity Golf Tournament for supporting the $70 million campaign to reimagine health and care at Peterborough Regional Health Centre,” Lesley Heighway, PRHC Foundation president. “Your generosity will help fund state-of-the-art technology that drives innovation and empowers lifesaving care for our family, friends and neighbours. Not only that, but community-organized events help us spread the word about the importance and impact of donations, inspiring others to get involved.”
