On June 18, 2025, more than 140 golfers, dozens of sponsors, and a dedicated crew of volunteers gathered at Elmhurst Golf & Country Club for the inaugural Beyond the Boards Classic Golf Tournament. Sunshine, friendly competition, and a shared purpose set the tone for a day that surpassed every expectation.
Why We Teed It Up
Beyond the Boards was created to make sure every athlete receives an assist in sport, school, and life. Net proceeds support programs that remove financial barriers, promote mental health, and create new opportunities for young people across Manitoba.
Impact You Can Measure
Thanks to generous participants and partners, the first-year Classic raised $15,000. We are pleased to direct $5,000 each to:
- Hockey Manitoba’s Grassroots & Grow the Game Program
- Canadian Centre for Mental Health in Sport
- KidSport
Your drives, putts, and silent-auction bids will translate into grassroots support in hockey and beyond and mental-health resources for those who need them most.
A Thank-You From the Heart
To every golfer who took the day off work, every sponsor who placed a logo on a tee box, and every volunteer who arrived before sunrise, we are truly grateful. Your enthusiasm created an atmosphere that felt less like a fundraiser and more like a community celebration. The Beyond the Boards Tournament Committee and the entire RINK team appreciate your partnership and look forward to building on this momentum next summer.
See You in 2026
Planning for next year is already under way, and early details will be posted at therink.ca/golf. Expect new contests, more special-guest athletes, and an even bigger impact. Until then, thank you for proving that great things happen when our community comes together on the course.
