Sun shines bright on Tiessen Foundation tournament By Mark Ribble KINGSVILLE — On a bright sunny Thursday afternoon, the annual HL Tiessen Foundation Charity Golf Tournament went off without a hitch, as organizers hosted 125 golfers and an additional 40 dinner guests. The tournament, held Thursday, August 5, raised a total of $81,000, which will be split between four deserving organizations in Erie Shores HealthCare, The Bridge Youth Resource Centre, Southwestern Ontario Gleaners and
UMEI Christian High School. Kingsville Golf and Country Club was in pristine condition as the golfers teed off in foursomes on all three nine-hole courses within the 27-hole course. “We are very excited with the total,” said organizer Linda Tiessen. Several skills competitions added to the fun and a live auction for outstanding packages donated by local business was held, raising $6,150. The auction was led by local celebrity Joe Oswald.
