It was another great day on the links for the third annual Southern Medical Program (SMP) Student Golf Tournament. The event was held this past September at Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club in Kelowna. Over 50 students, faculty, staff, and friends enjoyed a picturesque round of golf followed by a relaxed dinner and silent auction in the clubhouse.
This year’s tournament raised over $2000 which, will go towards a new SMP Student Bursary Fund. The total amount raised has been graciously matched by Scotiabank providing over $4,000 in new student bursaries.
Thanks to everyone who was able to attend. A special thanks to second-year students Drew Phillips and Alistair Hart for organizing the event. As well, sponsors Scotiabank and Meyers Norris Penny, and various local companies who donated items for the silent auction. Stay tuned for details on next year’s tournament.
