PRINCE GEORGE–The 9th Annual Alumni Hospital Charity Golf Tournament has been cancelled.

The Prince George Cougars, in partnership with the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, made the announcement this morning, saying that the cancellation is due to ongoing restrictions related to COVID-19.

$75,000 was raised last July, and in its nine years, $558,000 has been raised for equipment, primarily focused on cardiac care for residents of Northern BC.

“It’s disappointing we have to cancel this year’s event, but we respect and support the health authorities regulations and guidelines. We’re already looking ahead to next year.” –Andy Beesley, Vice President, Prince George Cougars

“It was a difficult decision to cancel, but the right decision in so many ways. The tournament is one of our signature fundraisers and has raised funds to purchase significant cardiac equipment through the years. We are hopeful that donors and players will still see this as a need and support the foundation where possible,” said Judy Neiser, CEO Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
