The Cowichan District Hospital Foundation has raised another quarter of a million dollars towards their fundraising goal during a sold-out golf tournament. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The event was held at Cowichan Golf Course and featured a hole-in-one contest where one participant walked away with 10 per cent of the winnings. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Marketing director for Cowichan District Hospital Foundation Deborah Rogers says it came as a shock to learn that someone had made a hole-in-one, but it was a win-win scenario. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPart-way through the day, we got a notification that someone had made the hole-in-one, and we had a cash prize of $50,000,\u201d she says. \u201cForty per cent of the prize went to the foundation, and the other 10 per cent went to the winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe gentleman who won the hole-in-one was actually one of the architects of the new hospital.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Rogers, since the matching campaign began, they\u2019ve been able to raise just over $15 million, and she says with the help of Jim Pattison, the CDHF only needs to raise another $2.5 million. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cowichan District Hospital Foundation has raised another quarter of a million dollars towards their fundraising goal during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,1050,74344,74345,74346,622,74347,82,2008],"class_list":["post-137086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-community","tag-cowichan-district-hospital-foundation","tag-cowichan-golf-course","tag-cowichan-valley","tag-golf","tag-hole-in-one","tag-sports","tag-top-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
