Making the Cut
Making the Cut Charity Golf Classic is back on September 11, 2021 for another year!
The Making the Cut Charity Golf Classic was started in 2013 by an anesthesiologist. The event quickly expanded to partner with Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation as a way to help raise money for vital equipment needed to provide the best care for British Columbians. The result was a hospital golf tournament like no other—a tournament that not only raised money, but also allowed sponsors the chance to have some fun on the links with the front line workers.
Val Shactman’s Story
Val Shactman realized something was very wrong when the paramedics prepared to shock him. By this point, his heart was pounding at hundreds of beats a minute. The 37-year old was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital for a heart arrhythmia that left him hospitalized for weeks. What he saw during his lengthy stay at Royal Columbian made a profound impact on his life.
