The 18th Annual Mayor’s Mulligan Golf Tournament presented by Enbridge announced $28,411 raised in support of PRO Kids at this year’s event. This fun-filled charitable tournament saw teams participate in golf challenges and games, a silent auction, and dinner at Strathcona Golf Course on Friday, Sept. 23. A total of $242,951 has been raised by the Mayor’s Mulligan over the past 18 years for charitable organizations. 

“I’m grateful this long-standing community event has been able to help so many over the years,” said the Mayor of Thunder Bay. “PRO Kids makes a real difference. With over two years in a pandemic environment, involvement in sport and activity is more important than ever for our youth. PRO Kids makes sure nobody is left out. My thanks to everyone who generously supported this year’s event. With your help we are building a more connected, healthier community.”

PRO Kids, which stands for positive recreation opportunities for kids, places children in activities when their families cannot afford the fees. These community programs help children and youth develop leadership, teamwork, self-esteem, and relationship building that are important in a child’s development.

“We are thrilled to see kids back in activities and this wouldn’t be possible without funding support from events like the Mayor’s Mulligan,” said Laura Daniele, PRO Kids Coordinator. “Our sincere thanks to the Mayor for once again hosting this tournament and to all the sponsors, donors, volunteers, and players who made it possible. There are children out there being active, motivated, and social – excited for the next day, thanks to your support of PRO Kids.”

The Mayor’s Mulligan is proudly presented by Enbridge. “We see supporting events like the Mayor’s Mulligan as an important way to strengthen our community,” said Nicole Lehto, Enbridge Director of Northern Region Operations. “It’s not only a fun event, but raises vital funding to support local youth. We are honoured to support PRO Kids through the Mayor’s Mulligan.”
