On June 18 the Sydenham and District Lions hosted their 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Rivendell Golf Club in Verona, which raised over $3000 for the “No Child Without” program. The funds raised this year will go towards providing medic alert bracelets to students with life threatening allergies and other serious medical issues at Perth Road Public School and St. Patrick's Catholic School in Harrrowsmith.
The program was launched nationally as a joint program between the Lions Clubs of Canada and the Canadian MedicAlert Foundation. According to Lion member and tournament coordinator Jim Kelly, the bracelets “help deliver proper medical care more quickly and effectively to students who require it”.
This is the second year that the Lions have helped fund the program. Last year proceeds from the tournament provided close to 20 students at Loughborough Public School in Sydenham with the bracelets. This year 66 golfers participated in the event and a plethora of Lion members volunteered their services, which went a long way in making this year’s tournament another overwhelming success.
