Dawson Golf Classic Raises Over $42,000 for Students

August 28th, 2024

The 2024 Dawson Golf Classic, held on June 10 at the historic Whitlock Golf & Country Club, successfully raised over $42,000 to benefit Dawson College students. The tournament was followed with an evening hosted by CTV’s Christine Long, filled with mingling, fun, prizes, and an impressive silent auction. Auction highlights included a vintage Forum seat autographed by Hockey Hall of Famer Patrick Roy and a Habs jersey signed by the 2023-2024 team.

Participants had the chance to golf alongside very special guests, including former Montreal Canadiens player Stéphane Richer, two-time NBA champion Joel Anthony, and three-time Grey Cup winner Danny Desriveaux.

The proceeds from the event will directly support students during their academic studies, which is especially crucial in today’s challenging economic climate marked by rising inflation.

The Dawson Foundation deeply thanks all sponsors and participants for their generous support. Their contributions help the college provide education that aligns with students’ professional and educational goals, inspiring them to make positive changes in the world.

The Foundation looks forward to the next edition of the Dawson Golf Classic, scheduled for early June 2025. Stay tuned for more details!
