Dear Friends and Supporters,
From our signature cookie to the fantastic support from our community, on July 29, 2025, we celebrated our fifth annual Bev Crushes It Golf Tournament. What a day it was!
With 117 golfers on the course, a lively raffle and online auction, and the tremendous generosity of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers, we’re thrilled to share exciting news:
We have surpassed $800,000 in total funds raised since our first tournament – WOW! This milestone is possible because of the many people who stand with us year after year:
- The donors who give directly through Bev’s fundraising page at the Sunnybrook Foundation.
- Our tournament sponsors and friends who provide steadfast support in countless ways.
- The golfers who register and play in the tournament.
- The online auction item donors and bidders who make it a success.
- Our many volunteers without whom we could not host this event.
- Our dedicated steering committee.
Each of you plays an essential role in building this momentum. Every contribution—whether on the fairway, in the auction, or through direct gifts—brings us closer to supporting lung cancer patients and caregivers and the groundbreaking work at Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre.
At the same time, the need has never been greater. We are seeing the tragedy of younger women and men being diagnosed with lung cancer—a reminder that this disease does not discriminate. More research, awareness, and advocacy are needed. Your support helps fund the care and innovation that offer hope to patients and their families.
Bev’s personal story continues to inspire everything we do, and because of you, we can turn hope into action. The Sunnybrook Foundation website offers more information about Bev, her journey as a patient advocate, and the impact of our golf tournament.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks for standing with us! Your support matters so much. Together, we’re proving that remarkable things happen when the community rallies behind a cause.
With gratitude,
The ‘Bev Crushes It’ Steering Committee and Team
