Top 5 reasons to attend our Golf Tournament

Join us for a special day on Thursday, September 14, 2023 at the Furry Creek Golf & Country Club. Enjoy a day on the scenic course with engaging entertainment, delicious food and impeccable company. Take the opportunity to engage more deeply with LDS’s leaders about our transformative work empowering children, youth and adults with learning differences to thrive and achieve lifelong independence, confidence, and success. 

Here are the top 5 reasons why you should join us for our upcoming charity golf tournament: 

1.) Life-Changing Impact. All proceeds go directly to serving our most vulnerable children and youth with learning differences. With your help, they’ll get the tailored education support they need to thrive and grow. 

2.) Location, Location, Location! Known as “BC’s Most Scenic Golf Course,” come see for yourself why Furry Creek is worth visiting for the breathtaking views alone. For all our golf enthusiasts, don’t worry about conquering their challenging course solo! We are playing best ball, so you can focus on gazing at the sea instead of tackling the tee.  

3.) Live Music & Inspiration. You’ll get the unique opportunity to hear from LDS community members about their inspiring journeys growing up with their learning differences, such as Carson Ting of Chairman Ting. Carson is an award-winning artist who has worked with brands such as Starbucks, Nike, Microsoft, and countless others. We also have the talented Celtic-World-Party-Folk-Rocker band, the Whiskeydicks, joining us for our afternoon entertainment. 

4.) Let’s Par-tee! With fun activities, contests and prizes throughout the entire day, you can count on having a great time with us! Put your best foot forward – you may be the winner of awards such as the longest drive, best dressed, best male golfer, best female golfer, best spirit and much more! 

5.) Great Company & Connections. You’ll be able to spend the day engaging with many influential business, legal, investment and community leaders from Vancouver, North Shore and the Sea to Sky. We are delighted to have representatives from our valued and growing list of tournament sponsors attending, such as:
