This past July marked the second annual Ed Jovanovski Charity Golf Classic held at Pointe West Golf Club.

Ed Jovanovski, former NHL star, was inspired to donate the funds to breast cancer research because of the affect breast cancer has had on his mother. Ed’s mother, now a breast cancer survivor, inspired him to create this fundraiser to help others affected by breast cancer.

With the help of fellow NHL stars, past and present, and people like Scott Elliott, owner of Amherstburg Chevrolet Buick GMC, that played a vital role in the planning of this event, the golf tournament raised $50,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. “It’s efforts like this that help in the fight against breast cancer and a true embodiment of ‘cancer changes everything, so can you’ ” says Cindy Vinall, Senior Manager of the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.
