Mon Sheong Golf Classic raises $150,000 for new LTC Centres
The Mon Sheong Golf Classic 2026 wrapped up on Aug. 20 at Bayview Golf and Country Club, raising more than $150,000 to support Mon Sheong Foundation’s Because We Care Capital Campaign and its efforts to develop new long-term care centres.
The annual tournament brought together golfers from across the community for a day of friendly competition, camaraderie and fundraising. While participants put their skills to the test on the course, their support also helped advance Mon Sheong’s efforts to expand its long-term care services and respond to the growing need for beds.
“The golfers’ participation is more than a display of sportsmanship. It reflects the big heart they have for our seniors. Our supporters are the reason we are able to continue building new long-term care facilities faster, allowing us to serve more seniors sooner,” Tim Kwan, Chairman of Mon Sheong Foundation.
Garth Low, president of Mon Sheong Foundation, said, “As the demand for long-term care beds intensifies across the province, Mon Sheong Foundation remains steadfast in advancing new facility projects to relieve waitlist pressures. Our first long-term care facility in Markham is set to welcome its first residents later this year. Since being listed with Ontario Health atHome, this 320-bed care home has already accumulated a wait list of over 1,700 people. Meanwhile, our second home in Richmond Hill is slated for completion by the end of next year, adding another 288 beds once operational. With our combined wait list across all six of our homes exceeding 12,000—averaging 12 people per bed—community support for building more care facilities is more important than ever.”
The tournament also provided an opportunity for supporters to connect with one another and learn more about Mon Sheong’s work and its plans to expand seniors’ care in the community.
Event Co-Chairs David Cheng and Philip Wong expressed their heartfelt gratitude to all golfers, donors, and partners. “We are deeply grateful for all teams and sponsors, with special thanks to Event Sponsor, MediSystem, and Gold Sponsor, The Chow Family. Their generosity made this event such a resounding success. Today’s tournament was not only a great game of golf, but also an opportunity to deepen connections and share Mon Sheong’s services and latest developments. We hope the community will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us to enhance senior care, ensuring our elderly can spend their golden years in comfort and dignity.”
The foundation said the success of the tournament was made possible through the generosity of its donors, sponsors and participants, whose support will help Mon Sheong continue working to expand long-term care capacity.
The Mon Sheong Golf Classic also highlighted the community’s commitment to improving seniors’ care and ensuring older adults have access to the care they need.
