Giving Tuesday is coming! It's the BIGGEST giving day of the year.  Every year, on Giving Tuesday, we mobilize our alumni and friends across the globe to show up, give back and make a difference in the lives of Lakehead students.  

The goal is to create a massive wave of generosity that lasts well beyond that day, and impacts their future.

We have waited a long time for this and we know you have too. We are so excited to be back! The last couple of years have been difficult for us all due to the pandemic but we have been able to organize this year's tournament very carefully (following COVID-19 Public Health measures) while still being able to offer most of the same amenities you have enjoyed over the years such as:

• 18 holes of golf at Thunder Bay's premium course
• Lunch to power your day
• Opportunity to interact with our talented Varsity Athletes
• Prizes and Cocktail Reception

Join us for this fun event in support of student financial aid and student athletes. We can't wait to welcome you back on the green!
