UNITED WAY SAULT STE. MARIE AND ALGOMA DISTRICT
*************************
Like so many other fundraising events, the Water Tower Inn Big Cup Scramble for the United Way was cancelled in 2020. And just at a time when requests for services began to increase exponentially.

“It was sad and disappointing to make the call, last year,” says Rayna Evoy, campaign manager for the United Way. “We’ve held a golf tournament to raise funds every year for over 20 years. It’s not only an avenue for securing funds to support the community, but it’s tradition.”

Major sponsors such as Rogers Media are at the table to ensure golfers play on in 2021.

“Rogers Sports and Media (Country 104.3/ KiSS 100.5) are extremely proud and excited to partner within the Big Cup Scramble,” says Rocky O’Neil. “This event is a perfect opportunity for anyone that has ever wanted to give golf a try. Lots of fun, great people and supporting an excellent organization.”

The 'best ball' tournament combines the hospitality of the Water Tower Inn with a challenging day on the greens of the Sault Ste. Marie Golf Club. Golfers play into paint can size holes, enjoy delicious food and refreshing beverages, and compete in fun challenges, all to raise funds for the United Way SSM and Algoma.

The United Way SSM and Algoma works with community partners to reduce the impact of low income on the health and well-being of individuals and families in our community. One way the organization supports this mission is the Harvest Algoma Food Resource Centre which gathers, stores and distributes food donations across the Algoma district to over 45 organizations. Since the beginning of the pandemic, over 688,000 meals have been delivered.

Golfers and non-golfers of all abilities are invited to join the Big Cup Scramble on Monday, Sept. 13, 2021 and support the United Way. Register online or contact Rayna Evoy at the United Way: [email protected] or 705-256-7476, ext. 206.

The United Way is grateful for all of our community sponsors. We give special thanks to our major sponsors The Water Tower Inn - Presenting sponsor, Rogers Media (KISS 100.5 and Country 104.3) - Media sponsor, Cliffe Printing - Design and Printing sponsor and Lajambe Financial - Auction Sponsor. If you or your business is interested in sponsoring the Big Cup Scramble, contact Rayna Evoy at: [email protected] or 705-256-7476, ext. 206.
