We are proud to announce that the 12th Annual Dianne Baboth Memorial Golf Tournament in partnership with SNF Navigation, held at Flamborough Hills Golf Club this past August reached it’s goal. The tournament has raised in excess of $450,000.00 since inception.

We were surprised & grateful when Sandy Shaw, MPP for Hamilton West, Ancaster & Dundas presented the committee with a plaque honouring our achievements.

The money raised this year will go towards purchasing a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit cribette for McMaster Children’s Hospital This equipment is vital to children who are born premature.

The tournament welcomed back our good Friend Darryl Sittler who has been with the tournament since 2010. Darryl was on the first hole meeting our golfers as well as hitting a signed gold ball for each foursome. Some were actually straight!

The hi-light of the evening is when Cash Foren, age 12 accompanied by his Mom Tracy, spoke to the audience before dinner. Cash spoke about his journey at McMaster Children’s Hospital and how the NICU cribette was vital to his health care. I am not sure there was a dry eye in the room.

We are so thankful to our golfers, volunteers, hole sponsors, silent & live auction donors, our direct donors and all those who purchased an item. Special thanks to Chairperson Mary Beth Toth whose dedication and passion to this event remains unwavering.

We are excited to announce the 13th Dianne Baboth Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday August 7th, 2025. Please refer to our website for details as well as our next project.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to help support such and important cause within our community.
