About this Event
The Rotary Club of Toronto East has hosted an annual golf tournament for over 25 years, raising funds to support local and international charitable causes. The Rotary Club of East York is excited to join forces again for the 2nd year in a row to make this event bigger and better. There are many causes that both clubs support, but two of those that really stand out are food insecurity and protecting the environment. Supporting local food banks, partnering with organizations leading the charge on tree planting, ravine clean ups, invasive species removal, and supporting organizations that recycle used clothing are just some of the ways we are making an impact in our communities.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort.
