History of the Buddies Open
In 1994, the North West Devils were awarded $500 for winning the Bill Bolton Consolation Men's Hockey Championship. Excited but not knowing what to do with the bounty, the team decided to use the funds for a golf tournament and BBQ. The event was so successful that it became a charitable ritual.
Nearly all the original Devils continue to participate in the tourney (though none have ever won), but much has changed. Most notably, the bachelors have become fathers, making their wives and children part of the Buddies.
Veritas employees and their families, as well as many of our clients and associates, have also joined.
To date, the Buddies tournaments have raised $125,000. For the September 2023 tournament, 112 donors raised a net $15,000 for Northern Ontario Families of Children With Cancer, Childhood Cancer Canada, Gilda's Club of Toronto, Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario, Leucan, Nankind, Behind Greatness, Niagara Youth Need Sports, and Soul Summit Ventures.

Buddies 30th Annual Charity Golf Tourney 2023
Thank You!
What a perfect 30th Anniversary for the 30th Annual Buddies Open Charity Golf Tourney.
We had 91 golfers and many of their family members gathered last week to compete over a round of golf, eat, drink and dance to raise over $15,000 for children's cancer charities. We have now raised more than $125,000 for cancer-related charities over the years.
Thanks, everyone, for your support in making this a great event!
"Thank you once again, Anthony, for the invitation and the opportunity to participate in what has to be the warmest, unpretentious, fun and human golf tournament, as well as having the tastiest sausages!"
