We are less than a week away from the 10th annual Jason Blaine Celebrity Charity Golf Classic. Over the years, the annual fundraising event looks to close in on the $1 million achievement of funds raised for the local region.
The sold-out golf and concert will return to the Pembroke Golf Club with an incredible line-up of country stars, including the event host – Jason Blaine. Blaine comes to the event after picking up two Country Music Association of Ontario awards – single of the year and songwriter of the year.
Joining Blaine for the event are artists Dallas Smith, Aaron Pritchett, Elyse Saunders, Josh Melton, Rivertown Saints, Lemon Cash, Rainwater Whiskey and Landon Bedor. Ottawa Senators alumnus Chris Neil and retired NFL/CFL player Ryan Thelwell are also lending their support.
“It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years hosting this incredible fundraising event,” says Blaine. “We’ve come a long way since our first year back in 2013, and yet the generosity and enthusiasm of our sponsors, participants, artists and friends has remained strong as ever. Music brings us together in many ways and I am truly humbled by the way we have successfully supported more than 40 organizations to make a positive impact in the Ottawa Valley.”
In addition, more than 175 businesses and individuals contributed to the event through sponsorships, silent and live auction contributions, donations and services in-kind.

This years fundraiser will support the BGC Renfrew County, Robbie Dean Centre, Pembroke & Area Airport, and Ottawa Valley Community Foundation.
