MPHRC race officials would like to remind everyone of the Second Annual Stretch Drive Benevolent Fund Golf Tournament, which will take place at Fox Meadow Golf Club in Stratford, P.E.I. on Wednesday, August 19, 2009
with a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. The golf course is located only minutes away from the CDPEC.
The event raises funds for individuals and families involved in the Maritime provinces' harness racing industry that have fallen on hard times for various reasons.
The tournament is limited to 36 teams at a cost of $75 per individual golfer or $300 per team of four. Interested golfers can register by contacting the MPHRC at 902-836-5500 or a MPHRC race official at your local track.
Participants will have a chance to watch some great racing during Old Home Week, enjoy a day of golf with friends, and have an opportunity to win some valuable prizes, including a new car for a hole in one.
The Stretch Drive Benevolent Fund is a project of the Maritime Provinces Harness Racing Commission Officials. The Fund has also established a $1,000 scholarship, which is awarded each year to a deserving student whose family is involved in harness racing in the Maritimes.
To date, the Fund, which is administered by the MPHRC and Senior Judges Committee, has distributed a total of $13,000, assisting more than 30 individuals throughout the Maritime Provinces.
