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.
