Swinging Strong : The Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence’s 15th Annual Golf Tournament raises $700,000 net

KIRKLAND, August 25, 2025 – The Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence proudly celebrated its 15th Annual Golf Tournament on August 25, 2025, at the renowned Royal Montreal Golf Club. This milestone edition was an outstanding success, raising an impressive net profit of $700,000 to sustain the Residence’s mission of compassionate care.

Over the past fifteen years, this tournament has become a cornerstone of community support, contributing more than $5 million to the Residence. These funds ensure that patients can live their final journey in comfort and dignity with their families, surrounded by love and support.

 

“This tournament beautifully reflects what community can accomplish when united for a purpose,” said Dale Weil, Executive Director of the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence. “The generosity of our donors and partners allows us to create meaningful moments—moments of comfort, love, and connection—when they matter most.”

 

Each year, the Residence must raise close to $5 million through fundraising and community support to complement government subsidies in order to offer its services free of charge to patients and their loved ones. Events like this tournament are a vital part of that effort.

 

The day was filled with gratitude and camaraderie as friends, supporters, and community leaders gathered together. Andrew Carter, host of CJAD’s Morning Show and long-time friend of the Residence, once again served as master of ceremonies.

The Residence extends heartfelt thanks to its major sponsors, including: The Tenaquip Foundation, The Gustav Levinschi Foundation, Mint Green Group, Birkenstock, Pfizer, The Oka & Grégoire Foundation, The Henri Family Foundation, Realterm, Calko Group, Fednav, Redbourne, J. Sonic, OEC Group, and Sports Experts.

 

Several dignitaries and local leaders were also present to show their support, including Greg Kelley, Member of the National Assembly for Jacques-Cartier; Georges Bourelle, Mayor of Beaconsfield; Michel Gibson, Mayor of Kirkland; and Tim Thomas, Mayor of Pointe-Claire.
