The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club will receive a generous $50,000 grant to help support club programs and services, thanks to the 148 golfers and sponsors who participated in the 25th Annual Capri Charity Golf Classic.

Since 2006, Capri Insurance has helped to raise $320,000 for the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club.

“Capri Insurance is the greatest example of a corporate organization that quietly goes about helping the community in a very big way. Their ongoing support helps us ensure that young people who need us the most are given the best opportunity to be successful, contributing members of society,” said Diane Entwistle, CEO, Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs.

Thanks to the $50,000 cheque, the Okanagan Boys and Girls club will be able to continue providing a safe and supportive place for children, youth, and their families to turn to.
