The Cowboy Classic

The Cowboy Classic recently brought supporters together to raise over $22,000 at this year’s golf tournament. This tournament was initiated over 30 years ago by Claude Poulin as an annual fundraiser for HACS he called the Black Creek Charity Golf Classic.

From the inception of HACS in 1987, Claude was a founding benefactor and an original board member and was instrumental in making the organization what it is today. Claude was a compassionate, humble man who never asked to be recognized for his contributions. He generously gave his time, financial support and business resources simply because he could. He never expected to receive anything in return except maybe to see the smiles on the faces of the children he helped.

To honour him, the tournament was renamed ‘The Cowboy Classic’ after his sudden passing late in 2013. Since then, the event has raised over $140,000 for HACS. Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of the sponsors, players and volunteers for making it such a great day. A special acknowledgment to the Staff at Niagara National Golf & Country Club in Stevensville for their outstanding support and service throughout the day.
