Three Chances to Win in This Year's Raising the Barr Golf Ball Drop
Published Monday, August 15, 2022
The cash prizes for this year’s Raising the Barr Ball Drop event have been doubled to $10,000.
Tickets are $10 each and can be purchased online at www.raisingthebarrgolf.com or at the Health Sciences Foundation Donation Centre until August 18th.
Each ticket corresponds to a numbered golf ball that is dropped from a helicopter above a golf hole at Whitewater Golf Club on Friday August 19th. By the luck of the drop, the people with the tickets for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd balls closest to the hole win $5,000, $3,000 and $2,000 respectively.
This event is in honour of Dustin Barr who struggled for many years battling cancer. Throughout the years, several organizations helped his family through its difficult times. Now Dustin's family pays that care and kindness forward.
A portion of the proceeds from this year’s event will be donated to Tbaytel Tamarack House located onsite at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and other local charities that support families fighting threatening illnesses.
