The golf tournament that has become known as "The Big Swing" was just a friendly game among a few actors and their friends when volunteer tournament organizers Phil Flagler and Judah Katz decided to dedicate it to raising money for the Actors' Fund. From its simple beginnings, the tournament has grown to be an annual event that brings out 130 players each year to some of the Toronto area's finest courses. The $50,000 raised annually by the tournament helps to pay for the Fund's emergency financial aid program for entertainment industry workers and their families, demand for which has doubled over the past five years as Canada's entertainment industry has weathered some tough times. The Actors' Fund of Canada is a registered charity that provides short-term financial aid to entertainment industry professionals working in theatre, film & TV, music and dance. Performers, creators, technical staff and other production team members can apply for help from the Fund which delivered over $400,000 in rent payments, grocery money, utility payments and other basic living expenses to clients in the last 12 months and over $3 million in the last 10 years. To date, The Big Swing Golf Tournament has raised over $285,000 to help entertainment industry workers in distress. For more information or to register for the Big Swing Tournament call |
