The
2005 Manitoba Electrical League Fall Classic featuring Jason Zuback, 4 times world long drive champion, scored big for The
CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
One
hundred and fifty-two golfers turned out at Bridges Golf Course on September 6th, to watch Jason Zuback drive Balls
over the horizon and then challenged the course to raise money for one of Manitoba’s most worthwhile charities.
This year, the Electrical Industry lost two of
its icons, George Reid and Tom Chowen to cancer and in their honour, the M. E. L. presented a cheque for over $6500.00 to
the Foundation.
The
presentation took place on Thursday, October 13th at 10 AM in front of
the Manitoba Hydro Bear, “CALL ‘BEAR’ FORE YOU DIG,” between Carlton
and Edmonton on Broadway.
