The 2017-18 season was a banner year for Squash Ontario with the help of our many generous donors and sponsors, over $100,000 was raised to support junior squash in our province.  With these funds critical initiatives were launched with the goal of returning Ontario athletes to their rightful place as world leaders by creating a strong pathway for our brightest young athletes to achieve international success.  From grassroots programming, to regional development squads, to provincial talent ID, to Team Ontario juniors and then finally joining the likes of Sam Cornett, Hollie Naughton, Nick Sachvie and Mike McCue on the Canadian National Team, our athletes and coaches now have the infrastructure needed to take on the world.  With special thanks to Squash Ontario corporate partners Equity Builders, The Jesters of Ontario, Sprott Resources and our many sponsors and donors, we thank you for an amazing 2017-18 in growing our sport.

So on to 2018-2019! To keep these key programs as successful building blocks for the future, our fundraising season kicked off with the 2018 Charity Golf Classic presented by Arrow Capital Management Inc.Slaight Music, and Dowling I.D.A (McCue family) on June 15th at the Richmond Hill Golf Club.  Thanks to event and hole sponsors, prize and auction donations, participants and a few individual donations, an incredible $47,000 was raised! This 2018 event has tripled Charity Golf Classic fundraising efforts from two years ago and surpassed the $30,000 raised from last year's event.    

Friday's success was a culmination of generosity from the entire squash community and no contribution was too small.  Our sincere thanks goes out to the following people and organizations who have contributed to the community through the 2018 Squash Ontario Charity Golf Classic.
