Matt Calvert Charity Shootout

June 22^nd, 2017 will be the date for the upcoming Matt Calvert Charity Shootout Golf Tournament at the Wheat City Golf Course in Brandon,MB. The event will be presented by Dynamic Physio & Sports Injury Clinic together with Outperforme Athletics.

I had a few minutes to speak with Matty today, as well as the Tournament Committee, regarding their plans for the first ever event.

BDNMB: Matty, I have to ask the question, WHY DO THIS?–
Matt: “Well, I have been thinking for a while that I wanted to give something back to the community. In Columbus we do lots including providing tickets for kids 6 and under, and their parents, to come to the ganes who couldn’t normally afford a NHL game. And I bought two season tickets for the Wheat Kings so some less fortunate kids can go to games. So this year made sense."

BDNMB: Do you think the local golf tournament circuit is kind of competitive with the Birt Cup and Dreams for Kids having yearly events as examples? –
Matt: “ I try to golf in as many as I can, plus I donate jerseys…they all have good causes” I have been to lots of events, and tournaments, and am taking the best ideas for our tournament.

BDNMB: Who is in your committee?
Matt: "Kyle Hamm – Scott “ Weird Larry” Hellyer – Spencer Day – Rob Rae – Shawna Turnbull and my wife."

BDNMB: So what are the next steps?
Matt: “ We are planning some live entertainment, and a comedian, for the dinner and awards that follow the round of golf…as well as right now trying to secure more sponsors”

BDNMB: How do you sponsor or sign up?
Matt: "Contact Kyle Hamm 204-724-7624, or Scott Hellyer 204-761-1645, and the price is $150.00 per person. Sponsor packages are now available"

All proceeds raised will be donated to Palliative Care in memory of Donna Hamm and Melvin Calvert.

BDNMB.CA is also proud to be a sponsor of the Matt Calvert Charity Shootout.
