Two hundred golfers teed off on August 21 at The 6th Annual Kylemore Kares Charity Golf Tournament held at prestigious Angus Glen Golf Club in Markham. Since its inaugural year, the tournament has expanded to now use both of Angus Glen’s 18-hole championship courses.
“The tournament always sells out quickly due to the support we receive from our trades, consultants, and suppliers,” said Kylemore Communities’ President Patrick O’Hanlon. “We added the evening dinner event a few years ago so non-golfers can join us in supporting this great fundraising day.”

Golfers enjoyed on-course food and beverage stations provided by local restaurants: The School Fine Dining, The Unionville Arms, Jakes on Main Street, Unionville Co. Restaurant and Angus Glen’s own Silo Grill. The evening event showcased a selection of menu items from the Golf Club’s new Executive Chef James Piggott, and guests enjoyed the musical entertainment of Cobra Kings.

“The funds raised at this annual event are distributed throughout the year. We often choose to support organizations who may not receive major corporate donations and amounts such as $1,000 can make a huge difference,” explained O’Hanlon.
