This year we will celebrate our 23rd tournament. The event is currently scheduled for August 28, 2020, according to provincial government protocols, and is guaranteed to be another remarkable event in support of the Royal Inland Hospital.
South Central Trucking & Industry (SCT&I) committee has organized the RIH Foundation’s largest community event and the most successful charity golf tournament in Kamloops. SCT&I’s Charity Golf Tournament has raised over $2 million toward patient care equipment for various departments at RIH, including: RIH’s OR, Emergency Room and Trauma Centre, Cancer Centre Chemotherapy Treatment Area, the Foundation’s 2nd CT Scanner Campaign and a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
This year, our committee has set an ambitious, yet attainable, goal of $100,000. The funds raised from this year’s tournament will be used to purchase much needed and essential beds in the ICU. These beds are used for patients on life support, or requiring other life saving measures, and have special mattresses which allow for increased blood flow and airflow, immensely increasing patient comfort and speeding recovery.
Royal Inland Hospital is a tertiary care centre which means we are a referral hospital for a large geographic area which provides care for over 225,000 individuals. We are also the biggest trauma centre in BC outside of Metro Vancouver.
