Tee it up for a great cause!

Join us for the 5th Annual Gord Brown Memorial Golf Tournament, taking place at the breathtaking Smuggler’s Glen Golf Course in the heart of the Thousand Islands. This signature event brings our community together to honour the legacy of the late MP Gord Brown and support vital local programs.

Why It Matters

The tournament is more than a day on the green—it’s a chance to make a real impact. Proceeds directly support programs delivered by the YMCA of Eastern Ontario and funded by United Way Leeds & Grenville, helping to unlock potential and strengthen our communities.

“Our sponsors and participants may not always see it, but their support inspires action and creates meaningful change — not just for today, but for the future we’re building together.”

– Rob Adams, CEO, YMCA of Eastern Ontario

Last year alone, your support helped:

Serve over 30,000 meals
Welcome more than 6,700 teen drop-in visits
Provide 2,000+ days of supportive housing
Achieve 90% attendance in the new Student Impact Program
Offer financial assistance to 1 in 4 YMCA members

A Legacy of Giving

Gord Brown dedicated his life to creating opportunities for those in need. His family continues this mission, and your participation helps carry it forward.
