A Neepawa family who knows all to well the financial and emotional costs of dealing with cancer, are supporting an organization that was there for them in their time of need. The Delaloyes, with assistance from Debbie Strelczik and the Neepawa Golf and Country Club, have organized the Super Alyx Golf Tournament for Saturday, July 16. 

The fundraising event features a round of golf, followed by dinner and a rainbow auction at the Yellowhead Hall, with all the proceeds being given to Ronald McDonald House Manitoba and Cancer Care (Pediatric) Manitoba. Sandra Delaloye said Ronald McDonald House has aided her family so much while her grand daughter Alyx deals with leukemia, that they felt it was very important to find a way to give back.

“Ronald McDonald House, and the people connected with the group have been so great to us, throughout the entire ordeal,” noted Delaloye. “It’s an organization that does so much good, so we felt the need to do something to support them.”

Delaloye noted that there are still spots available for the round of golf and the dinner, which people can choose to attend as separate events. The dinner will begin at 6:00 pm, with the rainbow auction to follow at around 7:30. It will include several items donated from the Winnipeg Jets, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, the City of Winnipeg and much more. 

Anyone interested in the dinner can call Sandra at 204-476-2670 or Debbie Strelczik at 204-841-0744. As for the golf tournament, all those who would like to be involved can contact Landon Cameron at 476-5711.
