Join Orchard Park Shopping Centre on September 12, 2019 for the 5th annual Orchard Park Charity Golf Tournament in support of mental health programs in our community. 100% of proceeds raised will go directly to CMHA Kelowna’s new initiative, Discovery College – an educational approach to increasing knowledge, skills, abilities and confidence to manage challenges like stress and anxiety.

Over the past 4 years, this tournament has raised an incredible $350,000+ for mental health services in our community. Just last year the tournament raised over $115,000 in support of our Wellness Development Centre kitchen renovation. We are now able to produce nearly double the amount of meals for our transitional housing unit resident’s and Wellness Development Centre participants.
