A record-breaking year for the Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic as it raises $205,000 “Fore” NEO Kids

A record-breaking $205,000 was raised for pediatric care in Northeastern Ontario at the 2023 Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic for NEO Kids. On June 15^th, a sold out field participated in an excellent day of golf and entertainment hosted at Idylwylde Golf and Country Club, supporting healthcare for our youngest patients requiring specialized pediatric care at Health Sciences North.

Since its inception, the Palladino Auto Group Golf Classic for NEO Kids has raised over $730,000 for NEO Kids Foundation. With this year’s remarkable amount, we are that much closer to reaching the $1 million milestone – a milestone we expect to achieve at next year’s event.

The event would not be possible without the dedicated and generous contributors who continue to support this distinguished event and our NEO Kids, year after year. We thank our fantastic sponsors for the success of this event- Ascend Fundraising Solutions, Brian & Debbie Savage and Family, Anmar Mechanical, Hiamedia, Perry Dellelce, Billyard Insurance Group, Crossgrove & Company Inc., SRWC LLP, Zulich Enterprises Limited, Pioneer Construction Inc, CDK Global, Subaru Canada, Agilis Networks, Good Manors Real Estate Group, Querney’s Office Plus, Tricor, and HOT 93.5.
