MADD Ottawa fundraising tournament slated for May 27 at the Canadian (Photos)

The 11th annual Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD Ottawa) Memorial Golf Tournament hits the fairways of the Canadian Golf and Country Club on May 27.

Sign-in and lunch begin at 11:30 a.m. and will be followed by a shotgun start for the best-ball tournament at 1 p.m.

Funds raised during the event are to be utilized to support the families of victims and to raise awareness about the consequences of impaired driving.

Some of the ways MADD Ottawa does this include sponsoring a support weekend for families of victims in Toronto, giving seminars in high schools about the devastating effects of drunk driving and by providing counselling.

The tournament welcomes golfers of all skill levels.
