The Oak Hills were alive with the sound of golfers teeing off this past Friday in support of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation’s annual Golf Classic tournament. Over 230 golfers and 60 volunteers filled both courses at the Oak Hills Golf Club, and despite the forecast, the rain held off until the tournament was complete! “We had another terrific turnout this year as we came together to raise $96,301 (net) for the purchase of a new ultrasound machine for our Regional Breast Assessment Centre at Trenton Memorial Hospital,” said Peter Webb, Board member and Chair of the event. “We are tremendously lucky to have such generous support from our community, with most golfers and sponsors returning each year for a great day on the greens,” he remarked.
This tournament has raised over $1.5 million since its’ inception more than 18 years ago, funding various Critical equipment needs at TMH with thanks to the support of donors, sponsors and golfers.

“Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Canada and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed in their lifetime. With the purchase of a new ultrasound machine, this allows our Breast Assessment Centre to identify breast cancer earlier with more precise imaging,” noted Wendy Warner, Executive Director of TMHF.
