NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 1, 2009

 Try your luck at the 1000 Islands Toyota $1 Million Hole-in-One Shootout

BROCKVILLE - You could become $1 million richer this spring – and help out Brockville General Hospital in the process.

Come try your luck at the 1000 Islands Toyota $1-Million Hole-in-One Shootout from Friday, June 12 to Sunday, June 21 at Sunnidell Golf in Brockville.

You don’t need to be a scratch golfer to participate; your chance of getting a hole-in-one in the finals and winning $1 million is linked to both skill and luck. If you get a hole-in-one in the finals, you will receive $1 million, and the Foundation will also receive $1 million to support Brockville General Hospital’s new Cardiovascular Program.

Any time June 12-21, buy a bucket of balls for $10 or $20 at Sunnidell and try your luck! Cash prizes are available to top three closest to the flag in the finals, and there are also special prizes if you get a hole-in-one in the semifinals.

During the 10-day event, there are many other prizes donated by local businesses, from golf balls to gift baskets, gift certificates to boat cruises, and much more! Even if you do not win $1 million, you can leave with a great prize - and know you have helped support the Cardiovascular Program at Brockville General Hospital.
