Frank Deschênes Memorial Golf Tournament

02/19/2025

We are posting to look for interest in a volunteer/s to take over the tournament starting this year. Ideally, it would be a member from Cumberland County. Managing the tournament requires communication/visits with possible donors, liaising with the Golf club, organizing collected prizes and day of event distribution, as well as organizing volunteers for the day. There have been over the last 6 years multiple donors who have been willing to donate already in place.

Our last year for organizing the tournament was this past year.
Sadly, if there is no interest, 2024 will have been the last year for the event.
Having said that, it was a great event, where people who knew Frank and members of the public gathered and shared stories of Frank, and where over $20,000.00 was raised since 2019 for Veterans in need through the Royal Canadian Legion Benevolent Fund.
Please share.

With the lower number of teams playing this year, if possible, please arrive closer to 1130. This will allow the golf course to take advantage of open tee times. Please let me know if anyone can arrive early. Thank you. Dinner will still be at 18:00
