A Teen Challenge golf tournament is a great way to combine a love of golf with a concern for the future of young people trapped in addiction. This summer, Teen Challenge Atlantic (New Brunswick), Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario North (Sault Ste. Marie), GTA and London Farm will hold their annual Marathon of Golf events. Golfers across Canada raise money and tee off against addiction.
