One of GTA's largest fundraising golf tournaments expected to top $360,000 this year

OSHAWA, Ont. - The golf carts are already revving up for this year's Durham Regional Chairman's Charity Classic golf tournament held at Deer Creek Golf Club and Banquet Facility.

Now in its 10th year, Durham Region's most successful golf tournament and one of the most successful fundraising golf tournaments in the GTA has raised nearly $2 million to help students at Durham College and UOIT achieve their post-secondary educational goals.
