2017 TOURNAMENT PARTNERSHIP THE MARK SPECTOR GOLF CLASSIC IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY info@markspectorgolfclassic.com
MARK SPECTOR GOLF CLASSIC 2017 TOURNAMENT PARTNERSHIP 1 There are hundreds of golf tournaments, and almost all raise funds for worthy causes. Why choose the Mark Spector Golf Classic? Because at Sport Central, we don t just give kids bikes and sports equipment. We give them opportunity to be part of a team, and a chance to feel like they belong, whether it be in a new country or simply on a new soccer team. From there comes confidence, and well all know what can be accomplished in life with a little drive and some confidence. If you want to see why Edmonton Oilers head coach Todd McLellan chose Sport Central shortly after he arrived in Edmonton, take this tour with him: www.youtube.com/watch?v=akff3e5jbnw&feature=youtu.be. We ve raised $325,000 in our first three years at The Spec. With a 10-1 ratio for every dollar you give we turn it into $10 worth of gear at retail prices that s about $3.25 million worth of equipment. Help us get to $500,000 at the Fourth Annual Mark Spector Golf Classic. It ll put a smile on some kids faces, and your face too. You ve got my word on that. Mark Spector
MARK SPECTOR GOLF CLASSIC 2017 TOURNAMENT PARTNERSHIP 2 It s an amazing opportunity to help kids have a chance to try hockey. It s been a huge privilege for me to play growing up and has become a big part of my life. St. Louis Blues defenceman Colton Parayko I love being involved with Sport Central because of what they do for kids who might not get the chance to participate in the sport we all love. I remember the sacrifices my parents made for me. Anything we can do to help kids get involved is worthwhile. Hall of Fame goalie Grant Fuhr You just have to see the look on a young person s face when they re trying on a pair of skates, or getting fitted with some gear at Sport Central. You ll never wonder why you got involved. Edmonton Oilers head coach Todd McLellan Everything I have gathered and gained in life experience from the friendships, to my scholarship for reaching the WHL level, to getting to meet Wayne Gretzky at the Heritage Classic, to who I am is a credit to the amazing program Sport Central is running. Former equipment recipient and Kootenay Ice player Jesse Wood-Schatz
