When she presented her $12,500 donation to the CT Scanner Campaign, Kathy Holmes said, “it gives me and my family a great feeling to have done this.” This is the second year in a row the Holmes family from Osgoode has donated the proceeds from the Greg Holmes Memorial Golf Tournament to the Campaign, for a grand total of $23,250.

KDH Foundation Board Chair, Margret Norenberg, said, “this is a wonderful contribution to the campaign and we are deeply appreciative.”

The sold-out Golf Tournament held at Meadows Golf and Country Club, Ottawa on September 20 had 160 golfers, exceeding last year’s attendance. Holmes described it as “just a great day – and a hot one!” which included a live, exciting auction led by Liam Maguire.

This is Holmes fourth golf tournament to honour her late husband who enjoyed golf and many other sports. She admitted that she has learned to be less shy when asking for donations, including the 50/50 raffle and tournament prizes. “It is all for such a good cause,” she explained. Holmes gave full credit to the overall event organizer, Bill O’Brien and the Golf Club. “I couldn’t do it without their expertise!”

Holmes said next year will be the final memorial tournament.

Every day, the Crossroads $2.2 million Campaign steadily approaches the “Finish Line”. A CT Scanner is a vital diagnostic tool which will improve the patient experience at Kemptville District Hospital. It will eliminate an ambulance ride to another facility to have a CT scan, accelerate treatment and attract physicians to the area.
