The Atlantic Provinces Harness Racing Commission would like to remind everyone of the 10th annual Stretch Drive Benevolent Fund Golf Tournament, which will be taking place this August.
The tournament will take place at Fox Meadow Golf Club in Stratford, PE on Wednesday, August 16. The golf club is located just minutes away from CDPEC.
There will be a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m.
The event raises funds for individuals and families involved in the Atlantic Provinces harness racing industry that have fallen on hard times for various reasons. The Stretch Drive Benevolent Fund is a project of the Atlantic Provinces Harness Racing Commission Officials and also contributes $1,000 to the Atlantic Bursary Fund, which awards scholarships each year to deserving students whose families are involved in harness racing in the Atlantic provinces.
The tournament is limited to 24 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 an APHRC race official at your local track. Please register early as this event sells out each year.
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.
To date, the fund, which is administered by the APHRC and Senior Judges Committee, has distributed a total of more than $80,000, assisting more than 100 individuals throughout the Atlantic provinces.
