The recent tragic events in Japan have affected all of us either directly or indirectly. They need our help!
YRSF is proud to present our inaugural Tournament as a Fundraising relief effort with all proceeds going to the Red Cross of Canada in support of assisting Japan in its? recovery.
This is truly for a great cause and a chance for you to give back. We hope to see you come out and show your support. We are currently working with a variety of vendors and sponsors to provide additional goodies for the event.
There will be both a silent auction, raffle, and more during the course of the tournament.
