The CLH Foundation Tom Kayser

Award Honours Jim Christie and

Ricky Dillon

The Tom Kayser Award honours individuals who generously volunteer their
time to support CLH Foundation—by serving on committees, assisting with
fundraising events, or acting as ambassadors in the community.

This year, we’re proud to present the award to Richard Dillon and James
Christie, the dynamic duo behind Dillon’s Golf Tournament in support of CLH
Foundation. With the help of their friends and colleagues, they’ve created an
annual event filled with golf, prizes, and community spirit.

Their inaugural tournament at Midland Golf Club in 2023 raised $7,500 for the
Commitment to Care initiative, and their 2024 event topped that, raising $10,500. Plans are already underway for the third
annual tournament this September.

Thanks to Ricky, Jimmy, and their dedicated circle of supporters for making a meaningful impact. We’re honoured to
recognize your contributions with The Tom Kayser CLH Foundation Volunteer Award.
