Amcal Family Services golf tournament 2009

Deakin Realty was once again proud to support the Amcal Family Services golf tournament this year. The event, hosted at Beaconsfield Golf course, was a great success and over $30,000 was raised to support the non-profit organization and its programs.

Amcal Family Services is a community-based agency offering residential services for adolescents, and counselling for families. Their team of professionals is committed to promoting and preserving healthy family relationships.

Our brokerage has been an avid supporter of the charity since 1994. John Deakin is a past president and active board member. He has spent 8 years on the executive.

A special thanks to all those who participated and sponsored the event, and to AM800 radio host Andrew Carter who was the emcee for the evening's festivities.

Thank you for taking care of my mother ‘above and beyond the call of duty’
