The 4th annual Jump for OOCH takes place on Saturday August 22nd, 2009 at The Lake Joseph Club.
This year we have raised the bar and have set a goal of raising enough money to send 100 children to Camp Oochigeas. Camp Oochigeas is a summer camp in Muskoka for children with cancer.

Camp Oochigeas is a privately funded, volunteer based organization that provides kids with cancer and kids affected by childhood cancer with a unique opportunity for growth through challenging, fun, enriching and magical experiences.
Every child deserves to experience the wonder of camp. After all, enjoying the outdoors and having fun are two integral parts of being a child. Last year we raised $28,000.
Camp Oochigeas gives children with cancer the chance to escape to a magical world where sunshine and laughter intertwine, a natural wonderland where friendships and memories replace worries about hosptials and illness.
The 20th Annual Golf Tournament and Lobsterfest held at King Valley Golf Club, ClubLink's premiere course in Ontario, was a tremendous success raising over $50,000. The tournament proved challenging for many golfers. The winning foursome, with a score of 59, Peter Rooney, Rod MacDonald, Bruce McKinlay and Dale O’Hirko, shot a fantastic round - our congratulations to them on their spectacular performance.
With prizes to be won for 'Longest Drive', 'Closest to the Hostess', golfers had a lot of activities packed into their day. On the 7th Hole, OnCourse, a team of Registered Massage Therapists and Physiotherapy Technicians, provided 'Active Isolated Stretching' and massaged those golfers with aches or stretched targeted muscle groups that are specifically used in golf.
Dinner featured a spread of delectable appetizers, salads, roast-beef and of course - lobster. Line ups may have been long, but that didn't seem to deter everyone from having a permanent smile fixed to their face. ClubLink's Chef Layton made short work of lobster line-ups with his artful display of lobster preparations.
Silent and live auction, the draw , 'Crack-the-Safe' and Scratch Cards featured prizes like Cash, Golf Getaways, LCD TVs and this year featured two Hole-in-One contests where the winner could go home with a 2010 Hyundai Sonata or $10,000 in Cash.
We extend our thanks to all of our volunteers and guests for making the day so enjoyable and such a great success. We hope to see you again.
