Ontario Tech University students in financial need will benefit from the great generosity shown at the 2024 Regional Chair’s Classic in memory of Roger Anderson. Mr. Anderson served as Chair of Durham Region from 1997 until his passing in 2018.

On June 13 at Deer Creek Golf and Country Club in Ajax, 200 golfers and generous sponsors joined Regional Chair John Henry for the 26th tournament, which also supports students at Durham College and patient-focused programs at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences.

This year’s event raised $260,000. Since the tournament’s inception, the annual Classic has raised more than $7.9 million.

“Every year, this tournament raises money for our students in need and for Ontario Shores Centre’s invaluable youth programs. I can think of no better way to honour Roger Anderson’s legacy of service than by spending a beautiful day on the golf course in support of these great causes.”
-John Henry, Chair, Regional Municipality of Durham
