Golf Book Raises New Hope
For some, supporting charitable causes is simply an act of kindness, but for others, like Colin Findlay, there is a deeper meaning in corporate giving. As close colleagues, Colin and Peter Yates struggled with the loss of Jackie Teney when she passed away from a brain tumour four years ago. She was a loving daughter to Peter, an energetic friend to Colin and a strong advocate who passionately raised brain tumour awareness through an annual golf tournament. Her parents continued the event which raised an impressive $120,000 for Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada.
After the tournament concluded, Colin was eager to take a new direction in the golf industry and publishing was an interesting prospect. He launched Golf fore All, a Pare Fore Marketing publication, with the help of a few collaborators, namely Peter, who lent his sales experience. Over the past two years, revenue from the coupon book has been shared with five non-profit organizations and Colin does not hesitate to justify why each of the charities were chosen. “Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada was an obvious choice because of my relationship with Peter and Jackie. She had exuberance for life that would put most of us to shame,” Colin says affectionately. “I was able to make a more significant impact through this larger corporate gift.”
As a past member of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s Board of Directors, Peter appreciates Colin’s generous support for an organization that holds great meaning for his family. We commend both men for their outstanding commitment to Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada and the difference they are making for brain tumour patients and their families. The 2009 edition will be available this fall. Please visit www.golfforeall.ca to learn more.
