The 27th Annual Lakeshore Open raises record $554,720 for Radiology Department

Thursday, September 11, 2025

This year’s tournament at Elm Ridge Golf Club brought together more than 250 supporters for a memorable blend of golf, fine food, and community spirit—all in support of our Radiology Department.

The day began with a lively brunch reception, complete with mimosas, followed by words of welcome from Nathalie Kamel, Foundation Managing Director, Tournament Co-Chairs Dave Cescon and Pat Vena, and Doug Barber, representing our Ace Sponsor, The 11:11 Foundation.

On the course, golfers were treated to a unique culinary experience courtesy of beloved local restaurants, including 40 Westt, Birdhouse, Café Gentile, Château Dollard, Lola Rosa, La Maison Verte, Schwartz’s, Taste Italy, and Tazza di Matina. Friendly competitions, such as Beat the Pro, Closest to the Pin, Hole-in-One, and the Putting Contest, kept the energy high, with live music from Cousin Vinny adding to the festive atmosphere.

As the sun set, participants gathered in the clubhouse for a lively cocktail dînatoire, where the silent auction drew eager bidders for standout items ranging from art and jewelry to dining packages, fine wine, and sports experiences. The excitement only grew as Tournament Co-Founder Ron Rappel once again took the stage as our spirited live auctioneer.

The evening concluded on a meaningful note, with reflections from Dr. Fadi Aris, Chief of Radiology, and Dr. Soumia Senouci, musculoskeletal radiologist at Lakeshore General Hospital. They highlighted the impact this event will have on advancing patient care and supporting the dedicated Radiology team.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors — The 11:11 Foundation, The Eric T. Webster Foundation, Groupe Taddeo Auto, Aldo Group, Broccolini, Desjardins (Caisse de l’Ouest-de-l’Ile), The Gustav Levinchi Foundation, Hemisphere, NUAGE Logistics, Scotiabank, and The Tenaquip Foundation — as well as to all participants, donors, partners, and volunteers. Your generosity and enthusiasm made this year’s tournament an outstanding success.

Mark your calendars — we can’t wait to see you back on the course in 2026!
