IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kids’ Day Shootout at Sunnidell a success Shawn Patterson, 9, wins finals
The 1000 Islands Toyota $1 Million Hole-in-One Shootout, a Brockville & District Hospital Foundation fundraiser, is now under way at Sunnidell Golf Club. The first annual Canadian Tire Brockville Kids’ Day held Sunday, June 14 was a success, with approximately 60 children taking shots. All funds raised will go to Brockville General Hospital’s new Cardiovascular Program. CPGA-qualified golf instructor Bill Minkhorst taught the children how to use drivers during one of the free clinics (photo attached). Shawn Patterson, 9, of Prescott won the finals; his prize is a new bicycle courtesy of Canadian Tire Brockville. Many other children also won prizes donated by local businesses. Kids’ Day finalists included Megan Read, Gavin White, Tyler Read, Shawn Patterson, Matt Reimann, Rob Hannah, Cole Kidd, Max Lowe, Kristen Johnson and Yagiz Tuna. The main Shootout, open to adults, teenagers and children, continues until Sunday, June 21 and there are plenty of prizes still to be won; drop by Sunnidell and help support Brockville General Hospital. Qualifiers will participate in the finals, where a hole-in-one would net $1 million for the golfer, plus a $1-million annuity for the hospital.
