Connor’s Golf Classic – What a Day!

What an unforgettable day.

Thank you to all of our golfers, volunteers, sponsors, donors and partners for making our fourth annual Connor’s Golf Classic a truly spectacular event.

We’re thrilled to share that, together, we raised an incredible $99,810 for young people facing brain cancer. Thank you for making this possible.

Event Highlights

Congratulations to our winning team, Malt Donkey — Scott Dawes, Graham Cannon, Archi Manton and James Tomkins — who took out the day with a combined stableford score of 115.

A huge congratulations also goes to Sam Carbone (Nelson Alexander) for an incredible hole-in-one on the 16th hole — a standout moment of the day.

A Day Made Possible by Many

A very special thank you to Victoria Golf Club for hosting us and going above and beyond to ensure the day ran smoothly. And to our golf pro, Tom Ebsworth, for his support on the 14th hole.

Thank you to Will Smith for entertaining us before lunch, and to Malt Donkey for the tasting experience and for generously gifting each guest a bottle to enjoy at home.

During lunch, our Legacy Ambassador Matt Allamby delivered a heartfelt and powerful speech, sharing his son Hayden’s experience with brain cancer. We are deeply grateful for his openness and generosity.

We also extend our sincere thanks to Professor Ron Firestein (Hudson) for joining us for a Q&A and sharing insights into his important work — work we are proud to help fund.

A special thank you to Matt Allamby and NP Brands for their incredible winning bid of $10,000 on the QMS media package.
