Mayor’s annual golf tournament raises much-needed funds for not-for-profit and community organizations

The 2019 Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua Annual Charity Golf Classic was a sold-out event as hundreds of golfers gathered on Sept. 18 in support of the Spirit of Generosity, an initiative that is making a profound and positive impact on the well-being of people in our community.

Since 2011, the efforts and events of Mayor Bevilacqua’s Spirit of Generosity commitment have raised more than $70 million. Proceeds have gone to help over 200 not-for-profit and community organizations that play a vital role in shaping the City of Vaughan.

Major developments taking shape reflect the Vaughan vision to create a city with purpose including the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, Canada’s first smart hospital, and Niagara University, the first post-secondary institution in York Region. Transit City, MET condos, EXPO City, the PwC-YMCA and the KPMG tower are transformational projects that are shaping the city’s growing skyline.

“This is an important time in Vaughan because, as a city, we are experiencing incredible growth and success. This upward momentum is a result of our focused and dedicated approach to city building, of which a crucial component is ensuring that we collectively move forward without leaving anyone behind. This is what the Spirit of Generosity is all about --sharing our resources, our gifts and our talents so that everyone, regardless of age, ability, gender or creed, has the opportunity to improve, contribute and live their best life with dignity. This is only possible through the generous and thoughtful support of engaged and enlightened corporate and community leaders who truly understand what it means to give back. I want to express my most sincere gratitude of their important role in making the Spirit of Generosity and the City of Vaughan a success.”
