The 2nd Annual Remembering Gail Golf Tournament a Big Success!

This past September 15, friends, family and business associates of Gail Elizabeth Banks - our amazing mom, wife, sister, aunt, cousin, mother-in-law and friend - joined together for a fun day of golf at Bridges Golf Course for the 2nd Annual Remembering Gail Golf Tournament.

Our goal on this warm, sunny day was to raise $10,000.00 for the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation – the only organization exclusively fundraising for CancerCare Manitoba. We are very pleased to announce that our total amount raised is an outstanding $9,100.00! This money will assist in cancer prevention, detection, care, research and education for the people of Manitoba.
