Toronto Blue Jays hit the links for charity
18th Annual Charity Golf Classic in support of Jays Care at the Club at Bond Head on Monday
On Monday, July 8th, TORONTO BLUE JAYS players, coaches, notable alumni, and special guests will team up at The Club at Bond Head for the 18TH ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF CLASSIC, presented by Rogers, Cisco, Samsung and Ericsson, in support of JAYS CARE FOUNDATION.
This sold-out fundraiser promises to be a memorable event for all in attendance. Eighty foursomes will enjoy a round of golf on this ClubLink course, barbeque lunch, cocktail reception, dinner and an exclusive raffle and silent auction over the course of the day.
