ItB次元官网网址檚 amazing the difference a year can make.

Last May, a Kelowna fundraising golf tournament saw a ten times increase, compared to the inaugural event, benefiting a local Make-A-Wish child.

City Electric Supply (CES) Kelowna hosted its second annual golf tournament recently and raised a total of $10,246. This comes just a year after the inaugural event raised less than $1,000.

B次元官网网址淲e challenged ourselves to raise enough funds to grant one wish with the tournament funds,B次元官网网址� said CES Kelowna district manager James Cookson. B次元官网网址淲e all love the organization, so it was a great goal for us, and the funds raised helped contribute to granting wishes in our local community.B次元官网网址�

All the money raised helped send a local Make-A-Wish child and her sister on a trip of a lifetime.

B次元官网网址淢ake-A-Wish sent a girl and her sister to Disneyland for a week,B次元官网网址� added Cookson. B次元官网网址淲e brought them a bunch of toys, and they even had their own plane and hotel. The kids were so excited to go. It was nice to see firsthand the impact our fundraiser had on these people.B次元官网网址�

Cookson and CES saw their event grow in a massive way and they plan on only making it bigger for the third annual event, which is coming up on May 24.

B次元官网网址淭here are so many moving parts in an event like this,B次元官网网址� said Cookson. B次元官网网址淲e had around 110 people attend our first year. It takes a bit to grow, and we learned a lot about collecting, getting everyone together, and assigning tasks. IB次元官网网址檇 say it was challenging, but it was also fun.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e thought about different ways to grow it and weB次元官网网址檙e excited to see what we can do next. Just like with our business, weB次元官网网址檙e always looking to improve,B次元官网网址� Cookson continued.

Former BC Lions head coach and member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame Wally Buono was in attendance at last yearB次元官网网址檚 event.

This year, CES has set their goal of raising $15,000.
