The Big Brothers Big Sisters Golf for Kids’ Sake fundraising tournament took place at Richbar Golf and Gardens on Sunday Sept. 10, bringing in a total of $9,100 for the child-mentoring charity.

The event started at 1 p.m. sharp, and eight teams showed up to play a fun round in aid of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Quesnel (BBBSQ).

Margaret Mok raised the most money overall with her pledges, bringing in $1,490. She won three nights at Coast Blackcomb Suites in Whistler, a prize donated by the Keen Family Foundation.

All the teams enjoyed the afternoon golf game, although teams weren’t keeping score.

“We are having a lot of fun, but more importantly, we’re raising money for a good cause,” said golfer Clint Winchester.

“No one’s here to beat each other, we’re out here to draw some cash for Big Brothers Big Sisters.”

The event finished with a dinner put on by BBBSQ.
