**Thank You to Our Amazing Supporters! ⛳💚**

The Galiano Health Care Society would like to send a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the incredible local businesses and organizations who stepped up to support our charity golf tournament.

From the **Corner Store**, **Galiano Trading**, **Daystar Market**, and **Red Williams**, to **Slater Electric**, **Gulf Island Insurance**, **Galiano Inn**, **Gulf Island Marine**, **Galiano Septic/Galiano Gravel**, and **Gossip Floral**—your generosity truly makes this event possible. We’re so lucky to be part of a community that shows up in such a big way.

We’d also like to give a special shout‑out to the **Galiano Golf & Country Club** for hosting us on their beautiful course. Your ongoing support, hard work, and hospitality help make this tournament not just successful—but such a fun and welcoming experience for everyone.

Because of you, we can continue to support health and well-being on Galiano Island—while enjoying a great day together on the course.

After all, in golf (and in our community), it’s not about having a perfect shot—it’s about enjoying the walk and the people you’re with 😊

**Thank you for being such incredible community champions!**
