“As a Manitoba native, I am particularly pleased that the Boston Pizza Foundation has teamed up with the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation,” said Jim Treliving, Chairman & Owner of Boston Pizza International. “This donation is the first step in what I hope to be a long lasting relationship and fits perfectly with the Boston Pizza Foundation’s mission to directly improve the health and well-being of children and families across Canada.”

This year's tournament featured an 18-hole alternate shot format, with a mixed field of children and adults. The two-person teams were made up of a child (ages 8 to 17) and an adult.

“The FORE Kids Foundation is honored to join with Jonathan Toews and Jim Treliving in raising so much money for Children’s Rehabilitation Centre,” said Ryan Hart, chairman of FORE Kids Foundation. “We are already planning next year’s FORE Kids Golf Classic, and look forward to continuing our support for this worthy cause.”

Longtime Winnipeg resident and Boston Pizza franchisee Richard Enright played a key role in organizing and bringing together all the event participants.

Jonathan Toews brought the Stanley Cup, the 2010 Conn Smythe Trophy, and his 2010 Olympic Gold Medal to the tournament for the kids to hold and have their photos taken with.

“This tournament is a great event, and I am proud to be a part of it,” said Toews. “Everyone did an excellent job and I am very happy that we were able to raise over $100,000.”
