Smithers Celebrity Golf Tournament raising money for CT scanner

The Smithers Celebrity Golf Tournament is around the corner.

Chair of the committee Kent Delwish says the aim is to raise money for a CT Scanner at the Bulkley Valley Hospital.

He says a generous donation of $1.6 million from Fritz Pfeiffer last year got the ball rolling.

“The people that have to go to Terrace or Prince George to access something like a CT scanner, it’s crazy that we don’t have one.

Because Fritz donated that kind of money, it’s an opportunity for us to help out with that donation.”

Estimates for a CT scanner at the hospital are over $2 million.

Delwish says this year they’ll have 30 different celebrities in town including Dan Hamhuis. They’ll have their silent auction that Delwish says is always the largest fundraiser.
