Strong Drives and Stronger Connections at the 23rd Annual Federation Cup Golf Tournament
More than 300 EFC members and industry guests came together on August 20 for EFC’s 23rd Annual Federation Cup Golf Tournament at the award-winning Deer Creek Golf Club in Ajax. Although the skies were a bit grey, the scenic course set the stage for an unforgettable day of golf, networking, and community spirit.
Participants enjoyed multiple contest holes across the five nines, along with delicious food and wellness stations placed throughout the course and the networking reception. The day concluded with dinner, the tournament awards presentation, and an interactive live auction in support of EFC’s Scholarship Program. This year’s auction raised $5,175 for deserving post-secondary students across Canada. In combination with contributions from the Federation Cup Golf Tournament, a total of $15,000 will be awarded, funding 15 scholarships of $1,000 each.
