“2011 is a milestone year for the Pacrim Invitational as we celebrate our 10th year, said Glenn Squires. “It has been an unbelievable team effort and refreshing to see this tournament grow and we are truly thankful for the many corporate sponsors and donors that make this a continued growing reality. The Pacrim Invitational is known to be one of the most well organized golf tournaments in Atlantic Canada. It is also a real privilege to be a part of something that directly impacts university student lives and helps develop our leaders of tomorrow. Pacrim’s goal, 10 years ago, was to provide a venue for our management employees to meet our investors, potential investors, partners and major suppliers as well as to give back to our hospitality community through a Pacrim scholarship and award fund at Mount Saint Vincent University. Having raised over $375,000 for this scholarship and award fund and with a players waiting list for a number of years now, we have succeeded in our quest”, Squires said.
