This year golfers had the chance to ‘Beat the Longo’ featuring founder Gus Longo(pictured below), as well as Anthony, Joey (pictured above) and Mike Longo.
Every golfer who was able to get closer to the pin than our leading men won a $25 Longo’s gift card.
In the end, 123 gift cards were issued making the participating Longos personally accountable for donating the same value to the day’s charitable causes.
SickKids, ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development, ROCK and Hincks-Dellcrest Centre all benefitted from the money raised.
At Longo’s annual charity golf tournament last week, the event raised a record $275,000 benefiting children across the Greater Toronto Area.
There were 536 golfers– over two shotguns held at Lionhead Golf Club & Conference Centre.
Over the past 26 years, Longo’s golf event has hosted over 10,000 golfers and collectively raised nearly $2.9 million to support local charities.
This year, some of the charities benefitting from the event include: SickKids, ErinoakKids Centre for Treatment and Development, ROCK and Hincks-Dellcrest Centre.
