With cancellations of fundraising events the norm these days, one event in Shaunavon will go ahead as planned.

The Third Annual Longest Day of Golf fundraiser will go June 19th at the Rock Creek Golf and Country Club at Shaunavon, with some minor changes.

Seven golfers are set to tee off at daylight that morning and golf till dark. 

Peggy Ross is the Project Lead, and explains where the money raised will go. "The money goes to Southwest Chronic Disease, and we are raising money to assist financial aid to people with chronic illness that need help."

Golfers will not be allowed to approach people for pledges this year, instead it will be by virtual donation.

E-transfers can be sent to 306-297-7309, which is  pross1@sasktel.net. Please text who you wish to sponsor.

Last year's Longest Day of Golf raised over $12,000 for the Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group.
