Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange will host the sixth annual TMX Charity Golf Classic today at Vancouver's University Golf Club. The tournament has raised over $400,000 for a variety of charities over the past five years.
To commemorate the event, Brady Fletcher, Managing Director of TSX Venture Exchange, will join representatives from the charitable organizations and members of the Vancouver business community to close the market this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. PT / 4:00 p.m. ET from the 10th tee box.
"TMX is committed to giving back to charities in our local communities across Canada, as well as those making a positive impact in areas of need around the world," said Mr. Fletcher. "The TMX Charity Golf Classic provides support to vital causes in BC, while bringing our clients and community together for a fun event. We are grateful to our clients for their generous contributions and for once again helping to make this event a huge success."
The proceeds raised from the event will benefit the Cerebral Palsy Association of British Columbia and Room to Read.
