Former Blue Jays Great Joe Carter Returning for Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament in Toronto

Two-time World Series Champ Joe Carter returns to Toronto for the Joe Carter Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament on June 18, 2013.

This fourth annual event continues to support the education and development of Canadian youth through its funding for the Children’s Aid Foundation.

The five-time All-Star remarked, “We started out with very ambitious goals for our tournament, and I’m proud to say that we’ve surpassed our own expectations, having raised and pledged a combined $750,000 to benefit the Children’s Aid Foundation in just three years. Through the Joe Carter Scholarship Fund and the Joe Carter Family Support Fund, we’re able to make a significant contribution to improving the lives and futures of those who need it most.”

In addition to Carter, the line-up will include Eric Lindros, Gordie Howe, Kelly Gruber and Dave Stewart. It will begin at the Eagles Nest Golf Club in Maple, Ontario for a day of golf, dinner and a live auction, and commence with a VIP celebrity after party at the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Toronto.
