The 25th Annual Sutton Group Preferred Golf Tournament raised an impressive $10,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities Southwestern Ontario. This year, the tournament took place on June 20 at the Greenhills Golf Club. The organizing committee was once again thrilled with the turnout and the generosity of the sponsors, participants and volunteers. It was a great way to mark a 25 years of giving back to the London, Ontario community.

“Thank you to all 100 participants, 18 hole sponsors, the REALTORS® and businesses that donated silent auction/raffle items and Mike Lipczynski and Kevin LaRouche of Holmes Inspections,” said Lori Payne, Administrative Office Manager at Sutton Group – Preferred Realty Inc.

“Mike and Kevin from Holmes Inspections set up a ‘dartboard’ mini-fundraiser on the 11th hole. They were able to get every single golfer to participate! The amount raised from dart throws was $202 then they matched that for a total of $404 to be donated to RMH of Southwestern Ontario,” Payne said.

Since 1985, Ronald McDonald House Charities Southwestern Ontario has been a home away from home for families of sick children.

“From everyone at our Sutton brokerage, thank you for helping us give sick children what they need most: their families.”
