On Tuesday, June 20, 2023, the Longo Family Foundation hosted its annual Fore Kids’ Sake Charity Golf Tournament and Grocery Business was there.
Since the start of the charity golf tournament in 1990, the foundation has donated over $4.6 million benefitting local hospitals, children’s charities and kids’ camps across the Greater Toronto Area.
With a continued focus on investing in mental health, immunotherapy and child and youth leadership initiatives, the Longo Family Foundation donates 100 per cent of proceeds to its charitable partners.
