This year’s tournament supports two vital local causes: the Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) Foundation and the Ronald McDonald House Charities Family Room at MSH. Organizers aim to raise $30,000 to enhance healthcare services and provide support for families in need across the community.

Todd and Marcia Finlayson, local McDonald’s franchisees, founded the Ronald McDonald House Charities Family Room at MSH in 2013.

“We are absolutely thrilled to be part of this wonderful event,” Todd Finlayson said. “We are extremely dedicated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The work we do for the charity is specifically for the Family Room at Markham Stouffville Hospital.”

Whether you’re a player, volunteer, or cheering from the sidelines, come out and enjoy a day of excitement, community spirit, and giving back.
