Scugog youth funding raised through the township’s annual charity golf tournament is supporting four community organizations and a local high-school bursary program.
Scugog council awarded proceeds from the 2025 Fore Scugog Charity Golf Tournament to Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Durham, the Port Perry 41 Cadet Corps Support Committee, Blackstock Minor Hockey and Scugog Arts. The tournament also makes an annual contribution to the Port Perry High School Bursary Program.
Four youth programs receive support
Big Brothers Big Sisters of North Durham will use its allocation to recruit volunteers for school-based mentoring. The organization connects young people with adult mentors and needs volunteers to sustain those programs.
The Port Perry 41 Cadet Corps Support Committee plans to expand educational off-site activities, buy equipment and apparel, and help keep participation free for youth.
Blackstock Minor Hockey will use the funding to add one ice time each week during the season and to support training for coaches and volunteers.
Scugog Arts will purchase craft and fine-art supplies for youth programming. Its allocation will also help pay artists and educators who teach young participants during Culture Days.
Annual tournament directs proceeds to youth
The Township of Scugog hosts Fore Scugog each year to raise money for local youth initiatives. The 25th annual tournament was held Thursday, September 10, at Sunnybrae Golf Club in Port Perry.
Although the latest council awards came from the 2025 tournament, proceeds from the September 2026 event are earmarked for the township’s 2027 Youth Initiative Grant. The municipality said it will announce when applications open in 2027.
Local youth organizations interested in future funding can review eligibility and application information on Scugog’s grant-opportunities page. No dollar amounts for the individual awards were included in the township’s release.
The awards spread the tournament proceeds across mentoring, cadet activities, minor hockey, arts education and student bursaries. Each recipient identified a specific use for its share rather than a general operating purpose.
