“eQ Homes Big Tee Off” Golf Tournament Benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters Returns September 18 as Part of Cross-Canada Celebrations

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OTTAWA, ON, May 22, 2024—Following the success of their annual charity golf tournament last year, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa (BBBSO) is proud to announce that eQ Homes has extended their commitment to the charity as the event’s Title Sponsor with a new three-year partnership. The eQ Homes Big Tee Off is set to welcome business leaders to eQuinelle Golf Club on Wednesday, September 18, as part of Big Brothers Big Sisters Day celebrations across Canada.

BBBSO offers a variety of programs to local youth with a wide range of backgrounds and needs, including their flagship “Big Brother” and “Big Sister” mentoring programs, which pair caring adult volunteers with at-risk youth to create meaningful relationships that often last a lifetime.

“Extending our commitment to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa fits perfectly with our focus of enriching the lives of the people living in the communities we build,” said Josh Kardish, Senior Vice President of eQ Homes, and a former Big Brother himself. “We saw first hand last year how hard this charity works to support the kids growing up in our growing city, and our team wants to be a part of that.”

“Our philosophy is all about setting things up for success from the start, and that’s what this charity does for Ottawa’s next generation every day.”

As part of this strengthened partnership, the tournament is moving to eQuinelle Golf Club, owned by eQ Homes, which prides itself as the “Ottawa area’s most awarded public golf course.”

“This golf tournament is our charity’s single most important fundraising event of the year,” said Susan Ingram, Executive Director of BBBSO. “When leaders like eQ Homes make big moves like this, it’s transformative and really helps us to continue offering services for youth facing various challenges. We’re very grateful for eQ Homes and their strong support of our work.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa is a local charity whose mission is to enable life-changing mentoring relationships to ignite the power and potential of young people in Ottawa and Renfrew County. Learn more about them at www.bbbso.ca.
