Sandra Schmirler Golf Tournament Okanagan and the Sandra Schmirler Foundation donate $20,600 towards the purchase of a specialized incubator for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Kelowna General Hospital.
The Sandra Schmirler Golf Tournament Okanagan was held August 19 to 21, 2011. The two-round golf tournament weekend took place at Shadow Ridge Golf Club, in Kelowna, BC.
The event organizing committee from the Kelowna Curling Club teamed up with the Sandra Schmirler Foundation along with presenting sponsor, Canadian Direct Insurance to raise funds for the NICU at Kelowna General Hospital.
“It was a fantastic weekend of golf and everyone had a great time while supporting the Kelowna General Hospital’s NICU,” says Norm Allen, coordinator for the tournament. “We are looking forward to the next tournament in the summer of 2012.”

Hi Cary.
Just wanted to let you know that I spoke to Brenda Gallaugher at the SSF a couple of weeks ago who has advised that the SSF will not be associating themselves with this tournament for 2012. Reason being is that although they matched the amount raised by KGHFoundation, the tournament chair only gave SSF $4500. (it was actually quite the controversy) They have no contract signed for this year and don’t plan on signing one. I will “assume” you got the info from Norm Allen. You might want to consider contacting SSF yourself just to CYA. I don’t thinkg that the SSF wants to get in the habit of only getting 4500 and matching funds of 10,000.
