$40,000 raised by Golf Tournament to support students
The 13th edition of the 成人黑料 Foundation Golf Tournament, presented by Alexis Nihon, took place on June 13 at the Summerlea Golf and Country Club in Vaudreuil-Dorion. The rain held off until the last few holes, making for a good day on the course among friends, colleagues and partners. At the end of the day, when all was said and done and tallied up, more than $40,000 was raised to increase the capacity of the Dawson Foundation to ensure that every student at 成人黑料 is given a real opportunity to thrive, whether through awards and scholarships, financial aid or in the long-term, by supporting new initiatives that benefit students.
Some 130 participants enjoyed the event, from playing the course to the cocktail and dinner at the end of the day. There were some standout performances, including 2018 Tournament winners Mary Di Liello (Campus Life and Leadership), Jesse Hunter (Cinema-Communications), friend Brian O鈥機onnell, and fearless leader, Simeon Pompey (Community Recreation and Leadership Training). The longest drive, male and female, was posted by Cathy Nickson (Physical Education) and Simeon Pompey. Closest to the hole was achieved by Dawson student Sarah-Lena Grogg and retired Information Systems and Technology employee Joe Sawoszczuk.
Dawson attendee, former Women鈥檚 Blues hockey player, Olympic gold and silver medallist and captain of Les Canadiennes, Marie-Philip Poulin, honorary president of the Tournament was gracious in participating in the day, both as a golfer and posing for photos, catching up with old acquaintances and in a heartfelt speech at the dinner, paying tribute to Dawson for expanding her horizons on the way to a remarkable career, and for her mentors at the College, especially retired academic adviser Paddie Chiara.
Dawson values the partnerships with sponsors that have developed over the years in support of the Golf Tournament to make it a success.
