This year, the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic presented by Samsung is pleased to announce we have launched our ‘Tickets for Charity’ program.  In order to support the local community, we have invited local charities to participate in ticket sales.  For every daily pass sold, the participating organization makes half the net profit ($6.64). The Wayne Gretzky Foundation through the Tournament, benefits from the proceeds of the other half of the ticket. Therefore the tickets are one hundred percent charitable!

The following organizations will be selling tickets on behalf of the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic until June 30th, 2009.  Tickets are also available on-line on this site.  The Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic will be played at The Raven at Lora Bay and The Georgian Bay Club in the Blue Mountains, July 6 – 12th.   Thank you for your support!
