In 1954, Pat Fletcher became the first Canadian in 40 years to win The Canadian Open. More than 60 years later, we’re still waiting for the next one. His legend lives on through The Pat Fletcher Scholarship Foundation, created to help students make a difference in the world.
Pat Fletcher often expressed the desire to establish a means of providing financial assistance to deserving, young Canadian golfers to continue their education at the post-secondary level. He wanted to return something to the game of golf that had enriched his life and career. As such, he was committed to establishing a charitable foundation that would be supported by persons and organizations interested in golf and education.
The Pat Fletcher Scholarship Foundation was established in 1986 as a tribute to Pat Fletcher’s many accomplishments. The Foundation began through the generous contributions and efforts of many people and is fulfilling its objectives.
To celebrate the much-welcomed return of golf season, please consider participating in the Pat Fletcher Scholarship Foundation’s “Making A Difference” giving campaign.
The Pat Fletcher Scholarship Foundation has been proudly fulfilling their commitment of making a difference for over 30 years across the country. Since its establishment in 1986, the Foundation has awarded 543 scholarships to young Canadian students. As our awareness has grown, so has the number of applications we receive from every part of the country.
By launching the “Making A Difference” giving campaign your support will impact and ensure that students for generations to come will continue to receive much needed help for their post-secondary education. With the increased high rate of tuition fees, the need for financial assistance has never been greater. With your support today, we will continue making a difference together.
