Southport and the Community Foundation of Portage and District (CFPD) collaborated in a golf tournament last Thursday in Southport as a fundraiser. Foundation chair Paul Davidson was presented with a cheque.

"It's always such a great pleasure to see more and more generous people at the events like that that can promote the Foundation and what the Foundation can do for our entire community. I think it's a benefit to everyone."

Davidson says Southport's been generous to the Foundation since 2015, and also sponsors most of its media advertising. The money raised will go toward grants into the community, and it helps the foundation endowment fund grow as well.
