The 27th annual Pritchard Memorial Golf Tournament was held on July 6 at the Carman Golf and Curling Club. The 2024 edition had 310 golfers, and tee times started at 7:30 a.m. and went until 3 p.m.
It was a banner event. The tournament raised $103,049.14, which will be split evenly and donated to both the South Central Cancer Resource and the Cancer Care Manitoba Foundation.
The Memorial Tournament had raised $523,000 since moving to Carman 12 years ago. This year’s total broke the previous record for most funds raised in one tournament, which was $101,000 in 2023.
The Pritchard Memorial Tournament honours Mike Pritchard, who passed away from sarcoma in 1998. His brother Darren Pritchard is responsible for moving the tournament to Carman to continue to contribute to the legacy of his deceased family member.
“It’s a lot of work but so worth it,” said organizer Darren Pritchard. “To hand over $103,000 in my late brother Mike’s name is what this is all about.”
