Fourth annual Good Samaritan Trust Fund Golf Tournament raises thousands for students in need

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) fourth annual Good Samaritan Trust Fund (GSTF) Golf Tournament, was held July 5 at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club. The tournament raised more than $17,000 to help children in need within our Catholic school system.

Director of Education, Wm. J. Gartland, stated, "The Good Samaritan Trust Fund helps families within our Board who are in need. For the fourth year, I am very happy to say that support for this tournament and the cause it promotes has been outstanding."

The Good Samaritan Trust Fund was established by the Board in 2007 as a means of financial support for those in our Catholic school system whose lives would be enhanced by the benefits it provides.

GSTF Chair, Jamie Mannion, thanked those in attendance for helping to make a difference, "I am here to extend thanks on behalf of the families across our Board who you have helped. You have given these people hope, and for this they are eternally grateful."

The CDSBEO would like to thank our Major Sponsors (the law firm of Adams, Sherwood, Swabey & Follon, Cameron Networks, Edward J. Cuhaci & Associates Architects Inc., and the Royal Bank of Canada) who helped make the Tournament a success. We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to all other sponsors and prize donors for making the day such a success.
