Register now for the Dawson Golf Classic!
March 26th, 2024
The Dawson Golf Classic, presented by the Montreal Forum, is back for its 17th Annual Golf Tournament at the historic Whitlock Golf and Country Club on June 10, 2024. We are excited to invite you to register and be a part of this event that supports our students.
Hosted by the Dawson Foundation, the tournament aims to raise funds directly benefiting students in their academic endeavours. In today's challenging economic climate, where inflation impacts every sector, student support is more crucial than ever. Last year’s tournament exceeded expectations, raising over $100,000, and this year we plan to surpass our own benchmark with a record-breaking goal of $150,000.
Admission includes brunch, access to the driving range, 18 holes of golf, cocktail reception with special guests and dinner. If golf isn't your game, but you still want to participate, join us for dinner and take part in our silent auction!
