Perfect Round
VOAK SPORTSWEAR AND WINNIPEG JETS CAPTAIN
Blake Wheeler hit a (ahem) hole-in-one with the first an- nual Voak Sportswear Classic charity golf tournament. Teeing off in late August at the Bridges Golf Course in Starbuck, Manitoba, the tournament raised money for six charities with a range of on-course battles, from putting challenges to long-drive competitions. All golfers received a Sharp welcome package, while plenty of other prizes were up for grabs — including custom blazers (much like the Masters’ legendary green jackets) that went to five golfers who hit an impressive 14 below par, Philadelphia Flyers’ defenseman Travis Sanheim among them. The day’s real winner, though, were the charities. The tournament raised $40,000 for Wheeler’s partner foundation, PROFYLE at CancerCare Manitoba, and an additional $20,000 was split among five other worthy foundations. Now that’s what we call a good follow-through.
