Camaraderie on the course advances care close to home

September 3, 2025 - With students returning to school this week, there are lots of ‘what I did over my summer holiday’ tales being told. At the RMH Foundation, we hope everyone who took part in a fundraising golf event takes pride in telling their story, and the impact they are making at Ross Memorial Hospital. 

Among these events are two successful golf days spearheaded by fundraising champion Therese Scheer to advance breast cancer care at the Ross. 

Golfers gathered at Deer Run Golf Course in Little Britain on July 20, raising $4,725. This includes a generous $3,000 donation by golf course owners Teresa and Alex Arancibia to honour of their mother who is a cancer survivor. 

On August 5, Byrnell Golf Club in Fenelon Falls was host to a fundraising golf day, raising $4,025. 

“This is truly a banner year for these events, which have been taking place for many years, thank to the golf course owners, as well as Therese and her faithful team of helpers,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “We’re grateful to everyone who took part. Your generous support is giving more people their best chance to beat breast cancer.”
