The tournament is a ladies only golf tournament (which is rare in our area) and all proceeds from the event are donated to cancer programs and research.

Past recipients of our donations have included Murray House and the Brandon Regional Health Centre. 2016 Tournament Registration & Details The most important reason for the tournament & the great day that we all have, is the contribution that we are able to make towards cancer programs and research.
