On Thursday, August 13, the entire staff of Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) was treated to a delicious packed lunch courtesy of Kylemore Kares Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Angus Glen Golf Club prepared and delivered 1200 lunches on behalf of Kylemore.
“Every year the proceeds from the annual golf tournament are donated to charities. This year we wanted to say a special Thank You to frontline workers for going above and beyond the call of duty during these unprecedented times. We reached out to our local hospital to make the arrangements,” said Cailey Stollery, CEO Angus Glen and Kylemore Group of Companies.
2020 marks the thirteenth consecutive year the invitational tournament has been held at Angus Glen Golf Club. “We weren’t sure we would be permitted to go ahead, even if we had the support of our trades, suppliers and consultants. However, when the Province announced golf could resume, we called some of our contacts and found that they were eager to participate,” explained Frank Spaziani, Vice-President of Kylemore. “From there the Kylemore team together with the golf club worked tirelessly to ensure all health and safety precautions were met,” he added.

The lunches, combined with support provided in the early days of COVID-19, amounts to $30,000. The company has also responded to requests for special assistance due to the pandemic from Yellow Brick House and Participation House in Markham. “Kylemore’s generous donation to Markham Stouffville Hospital speaks directly to the caring and generous spirit of our community. With this financial support and meal donation, our dedicated frontline staff is inspired and empowered,” said Suzette Strong. “Every contribution ensures our patients can receive the critical care they need, even in the face of unprecedented crisis. Thank you, Kylemore, for your long-standing support.”
The tournament was held on Friday, August 14 at Angus Glen Golf Club’s two 18-hole championship courses where golfers enjoyed outdoor on-course food, beverages, and entertainment.
