2024 CABOTEER INVITATIONAL RAISES $22,536
FOR GIVE KIDS THE WORLD VILLAGE
Caboteer held its 20th Invitational at the iconic Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa (www.digbypines.ca) on Wednesday, June 14th and Thursday, June 15th. At the opening reception, John Squires, President, Pacrim Hospitality Services Inc., welcomed the participants and thanked all the players, sponsors and donors for their support of the tournament. Glenn Squires, CEO, Pacrim Hospitality Services Inc. introduced our charity, Give Kids the World Village (www.gktw.org) (GKTW). Pam Landwirth, President & CEO, Give Kids the World Village, was unable to be in attendance this year and sent the following videos in her absence - https://gktw.canto.com/b/R56QU and https://gktw.canto.com/b/R56QU.
Tournament day started with rain but approximately 15 minutes after the shot gun start, the rain stopped.
There were many fun times shared, relationships formed, and memories made.
The goal of this tournament is to provide a venue to gather investors, potential investors, clients, potential clients, partners, major suppliers and employees, as well as to give back to our charity GKTW through proceeds from our live and silent auctions. It is worthy to note, 100% of the Caboteer Invitational’s donation to GKTW will be channelled toward supporting the wishes of children from Canada. Canada is the second largest country, next to the United States, who avail of the gracious and unique experiences provided by GKTW. This year the Caboteer Invitational raised $22,535.99 for Give Kids the World Village.
GKTW Village has unique entertainment attractions, whimsical venues, and fun activities for children of all abilities.
GKTW Village has 166 villa accommodations.
