Leading Canadian Retailer Supports Non-Profits of All Sizes
(TORONTO) – Golf Town – Canada’s largest golf retailer with unequaled selection and competitive prices at 34 locations coast to coast – announces its “Chips In” charity initiative supporting non-profit groups of all sizes via a nationwide, grassroots donation program.
Coinciding with Golf Town’s official partnership in the Drive for a Cure with the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada (PCRFC), the “Chips In” initiative pledges $100 in Golf Town gift cards to all qualifying charity golf tournaments raising funds for a non-profit organization.
“Golf tournaments are a key component of fundraising for a wide variety of worthy causes and we’re happy to support these events, specifically those helping aid children, families or the community,” says Stephen Bebis, President and CEO of Golf Town. “In conjunction with the Drive for a Cure, the ‘Chips In’ initiative encourages any non-profit organization holding a golf tournament to apply for donations at www.golftown.com.”
Among the largest charitable givers in the Canadian golf industry, Golf Town has donated more than $2 million since opening its first store in 1999. Together, the Annual Golf Town Invitational – which features PGA Tour superstars and high-profile business leaders – and Golf Town Charity Classic each year raise more than $350,000 to benefit the PCRFC (www.prostatecancer.ca), which is devoted to eliminating the leading cancer threat to Canadian men ages 40-55.
