Okanagan Electrical Systems鈥� annual charity golf tournament is coming off a successful inaugural event.
The tournament at 麻豆精选鈥檚 Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club was organized by OES owners Brent Stevens and Noah Feist and raised $16,240. The duo were looking for a way to give back in the community and sent two equal cheques of $8,120 to the Canadian Mental Health Association 麻豆精选 branch and the Child Advocacy Centre of 麻豆精选.
鈥淭he causes are personal for us,鈥� said Stevens.
鈥淎ccessible mental health services are so important within the community and the connection to childhood trauma is very real, these two organizations represented exactly where we wanted to give back.鈥�

CMHA 麻豆精选 supports local families and individuals with programs that promote positive mental health and support recovery. The Child Advocacy Centre helps protect vulnerable youth in the community. They were two local programs that Stevens and Feist specifically chose to benefit from the first OES鈥檚 charity golf tournament.
鈥淲e are so happy to be working with these organizations, the work they do is so important. We鈥檙e already looking forward to next year as we grow this event and build on what we started here this year,鈥� said Stevens.
鈥淲e couldn鈥檛 be more grateful to all of the sponsors, supporters and golfers for taking part in making this difference in the community.鈥�
