Olympic View Golf Course, Victoria, BC

Join us for BC Hospitality Foundation’s 8^th annual Victoria Golf Tournament at our new venue, Olympic View Golf Club! The tournament takes place on Tuesday, August 23^rd, and offers a full day of food, drink, and enjoyment. Players partake of bites and beverages at many holes, there are tee prizes and putting contests, and lunch and dinner are included. The events are a great way to connect with old friends or to expand your network, as they bring together many members of the local hospitality community. It’s been 2 long years: let’s get our industry together to swing together!

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

Sponsorship opportunities for Victoria's tournament are still available.

Take a peek at the 2022 scholarship recipients so far...

The BCHF and A&W are hosting a Root Beer Float fundraiser on Sunday, July 17. We are looking for volunteers to help us from 11 am to 2:30/3:00 pm (you get to stay and enjoy the game after we are done!)

We are proud to announce that the Vancouver Golf Tournament raised $18,000 through tournament sponsorship, silent auction prizes, and raffle ticket sales. We could not have done this without our players’ contributions that make such an impact. These funds will be dedicated to assisting our beneficiaries.

In the next few newsletters we will share valuable information available on the go2HR website.
