Courtnall Celebrity Classic

The Courtnall Celebrity Classic was held in Victoria July 21st to July 24th. The star studded weekend included a radiothon, a fundraising dinner, a silent and live auction, an after party and a golf tournament. Previous Courtnall Celebrity Classics, held in 2003 and 2004, raised more than $2 million for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation and helped open the doors to the Archie Courtnall Centre, a Psychiatric Emergency Services Unit at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. Funds raised from the 2011 Classic will purchase equipment and patient and staff education programs in support of mental health treatment in the new Patient Care Centre, as part of the Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s overall $25 million Building Care Together campaign.
