Because it's tradition!
As an annual tradition, Chris would always take it upon himself to arrange a "Golf Tournament" in honour of his birthday.
Typically held on (or close to) his birthday of June 11th, Chris would get a handful of his buddies out for a day of golf, beers, cigars and laughs followed by an evening of partying and general celebration of his day of birth.
​
In his honour, the inaugural Chris Silman Memorial Golf Tournament was held on June 20th, 2015 and it was a great success! It was a great day of fun, sun and golf with all proceeds raised going towards Diabetes Canada and their
D-Camp Program.
​
Last year in 2018 we had our best turnout yet and raised over $7,000! We are humbled and grateful for the continued support and success for this Tournament and outstanding cause and hope to match or better our donations for this coming year!
