Join uOBMRI’s charity golf tournament in support of stroke research

The uOttawa Brain and Mind Research Institute (uOBMRI) is hosting the inaugural Strokes for Stroke Golf Tournament at the Marshes Golf Club (320 Terry Fox Drive) in Kanata, Ottawa.

All proceeds of the tournament will directly support the Stroke Research Consortium (SRC) and the uOttawa Brain and Mind Research Institute. The SRC aims to systemically research the underlying mechanisms of stroke injury, improve recovery among survivors and implement delivery of care best practices for this debilitating condition. 

Canadians live with the consequences of stroke, among which 40% suffer permanent disability. While the estimated cost of $3 billion per year for care during recovery from stroke is significant, the emotional cost to patients and caregivers is immeasurable. These facts underscore the urgent need to advance prevention, recovery and rehabilitation that would decrease stroke’s mortality rate and improve quality of life of stroke survivors.

Together we can make a difference. Join us on Saturday, September 16, 2017 to support this great cause!

Registration includes: Team golf cart - yours to use with your foursome for the day, valet bag drop, personalized full-length lockers including towel service, exclusive use of The Marshes’ saunas and steam rooms, and access to their driving range.

Breakfast and lunch included: During the tournament, uOBMRI will welcome participants with a delectable breakfast followed by a hearty lunch on the greens.

Interested participants are encouraged to reach out to family, friends and colleagues to join for an exciting scramble-style tournament.
