Fancy Pants Golf Tournament

SEPTEMBER

Each year, we hold a Charity Golf Tournament to raise money for Child Advocacy Centre of Kelowna.  
 
in 2024, our 6th Annual Ogopogo Rotary Club "Fancy Pants" Golf Tournament Raises over $50,000
 

Almost 130 golfers teed off on September 5 at the 6th Annual Ogopogo Rotary Fancy Pants Tournament and helped to raise over $50,000 for Rotary’s local and international projects, including $30,000 for the Child & Youth Advocacy Centre. 

 

“Where else can you enjoy a round of golf, raise funds for worthy causes, and wear your fanciest pants?” says Ray Lewis, Ogopogo Rotary’s Director of Fundraising. “We’d like to share our appreciation for our sponsors - we couldn’t do it without them”. Gold sponsors included Acera Insurance and Traine/Mainline Living.
