to Support Woolley’s Warriors and Diabetes Canada
Toronto, Ont. – The OHL Alumni Golf Classic returns for 2024, supporting another great charitable cause on Tuesday, August 20th at Hockley Valley Resort in Mono, Ont. This year’s event will rally support for Woolley’s Warriors, a cause spearheaded by OHL alumnus Mark Woolley in support of Diabetes Canada.
A past recipient of both the Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy as OHL Humanitarian of the Year along with the Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy in 2022, Woolley has lived with Type 1 diabetes since the age of 12. Currently 22 years-old and playing U SPORTS men’s hockey at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Woolley played four OHL seasons between the Guelph Storm and Owen Sound Attack from 2017-22. The 6-foot-3, 226Ib. blueliner earned a reputation for his solid defensive play and physical presence throughout his time in the OHL.
Wanting to make a difference, Woolley launched “Woolley’s Warriors” in August 2019. Through his efforts, Woolley and generous supporters have raised more than $74,000 since the program’s inception with funds helping send children living with Type 1 diabetes to Diabetes Canada D-Camps. These camps have provided more than 20,000 children over a 60-year span with an opportunity to be in a supportive and fun environment filled with others also living with Type 1.
“I can’t thank the OHL enough for their support of Woolley’s Warriors and Diabetes Canada,” said Woolley of the opportunity. “The OHL Alumni Classic will make a huge difference in the lives of those living with Type 1, especially kids looking to attend D-Camps. I’m excited to get out on the course with many other OHL alumni in August!”
Last summer, the 2023 OHL Alumni Golf Classic was held at Diamondback Golf Club in Richmond Hill, Ont., and raised $20,000 in support of Peterborough Petes alumnus Mark Kirton and the ALS Action Canada Super Fund.
