For the third year in a row, the Canucks for Kids Fund will be the Freedom 55 Financial Open’s official charity, and the tournament will once again be incorporating a Canucks for Kids Ball Hockey Classic event to raise both awareness and donations for the charity.

Children between the ages of 8-12 will have the opportunity to participate in a ball hockey game on Sunday June 3^rd with Mackenzie Tour golfers, Vancouver Canucks players and alumni and media personalities while raising money for the charity.  Sign up is available on www.freedom55financialopen.com

These events cannot happen without the support of our community and this event will be possible due to 250 volunteers and approximately 100 caddies.  Registration is open to register to participate at www.freedom55financialopen.com

The full 2018 Mackenzie Tour schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.
