"On Thursday September 23rd the Home Team from Century 21 held a charity golf tournament at Rolling Hills Golf Course in tribute to the Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity. We would like to thank everyone who participated in this event. The Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity is such an amazing cause, the Home Team was honoured to be able to contribute to this charity.
With great weather and a beautiful course , the player's golfed from morning till afternoon. The Home Team and they're fifty supporters pulled through with great scores and had an amazing time. After the tournament was complete the Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity advocates proceeded to the dining room to have drinks and lunch. The Home Team set up a silent auction with donations from many of the players as well as prizes for the golfers who had the best scores in the game. There was even a prize for the most honest player that didn't do so well ! The donations consisted of golf clubs, a golf bag , a free home inspection thanks to Ritchie Bisnauth , certified home inspector in the Newmarket and Aurora area and many more excellent donations. Eryn Richardson from the Home Team showed a truly touching video on the Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity, which went into detail on who Jennifer Ashliegh was and how after her tragic death her family created The Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity to provide assistance and financial help to families that have children with unfortunate diseases and special needs.
The Home Team has been a strong supporter of the Jennifer Ashleigh Children's Charity for five years now. The Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity is a wonderful chairty due to the fact that because of Norm Claments who is Jennifer Ashlieghs grandfather, over 90 % of all donations from events held to support this charity (like the golf tournement the Home Team held) and just direct donations there is little over-head to the distribution of the money donated.
Jennifer Ashliegh Clements died when she was only six months old due to inheriting degenerative , muscular disease. Her younger sister Danica sadly died of the same illness two years later. The Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity was created in 1990 by the girls grandfather Norm Clements to provide aid to the many seriously ill children. This charitys mission is " TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES." By providing financial assistance for emergency funds, special treatment needs, therapy,medical exspenses, education and recreation the Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity has helped thousands of children and thier families pull through such a difficult time. This charity helps so many families no matter what the situation may be , providing families with a financial safety net. The Jennifer Ashliegh Children's Charity Charity continues to grow thanks to the fundraising efforts of their volunteers and generosity of community organizations, businesses and individuals.
The Century 21 Home Team greatly appreciates all the support and donations provided by the golfers of the tournament. By holding this event we provided ill children with assistance that is desperatly needed. "Where there's a will there's a way."
