Community Care Peterborough is thrilled to announce the success of the 7th Annual Golf Fore Care tournament, held on September 9, 2025 at the prestigious Wildfire Golf and Country Club. This year’s event raised $14,577.95, with proceeds equally supporting Community Care’s Lakefield and Apsley Service Offices.
Over 115 golfers enjoyed a day of sunshine, sport, and generosity on one of the region’s top courses. The tournament featured a BBQ buffet lunch, a plated dinner during the awards presentation, and lively fundraising elements, including a popular 50/50 draw—with the winner taking home nearly $600—and a 7-for-$20 raffle featuring premium prize packs such as foursomes at Wildfire and the Quarry Golf Club, Yeti coolers, and more.
“This tournament truly brings together our community in such a joyful and generous spirit,” said Lorri Rork, Community Development Coordinator in Lakefield. “It’s always such a pleasure to welcome players who not only love the game, but also care deeply about supporting their neighbours in Selwyn, Douro-Dummer, and North Kawartha.”
The day was made possible thanks to strong community support and the generous sponsorship of local businesses. Special thanks go to this year’s Platinum Sponsors:
- Kawartha Propeller
- A joint sponsorship from Alf Curtis Home Improvements and Castle Building Centres Group Ltd.
“We’re so grateful to our sponsors, players, and volunteers for making this event such a success,” added Katie Bryck, Community Development Coordinator in Apsley. “The funds raised help us deliver essential programs like Meals on Wheels, transportation, and fitness classes for hundreds of local residents.”
The Lakefield office served 656 clients last year across Selwyn and Douro-Dummer, offering high-demand services like transportation to medical appointments, brokered home help and maintenance, falls prevention classes, wellness clinics, and hot Meals on Wheels. The Apsley office supported 227 clients in North Kawartha, with popular programs including transportation, frozen Meals on Wheels, and in-person fitness classes.
Both offices are currently welcoming new volunteers, especially in the areas of driving, friendly visiting, and fundraising support.
