<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Limestone Learning Foundation proudly names its annual golf tournament in honour of Sandra Davison, whose vision, leadership, and dedication helped shape the Foundation from its earliest days.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">As Communications Manager with the Limestone District School Board, Sandra was instrumental in establishing the Foundation’s first fundraising plans beginning in 1998. Working alongside the inaugural Board of Directors, she organized and led teams of volunteers to deliver the LLF’s first formal fundraising galas, setting a standard of excellence through thoughtful programming, student showcases, live and silent auctions, and community connection.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Sandra also led the creation of the annual LLF Golf Tournament, bringing her exceptional organizational skills and collaborative spirit to an event that quickly became a cornerstone of the Foundation’s fundraising efforts. Following her passing in 2005, the Board renamed the tournament in her honour, ensuring her contributions would be remembered and celebrated for generations to come.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Today, the Sandra Davison Memorial Golf Classic continues to be a significant fundraising milestone, supported by many of the same donors, volunteers, players, and members of Sandra’s extended family who return year after year. Through this legacy, the LLF has raised more than $2 million to enhance excellence in learning across LDSB schools.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are honoured to carry forward Sandra’s legacy by continuing to invest in literacy, the arts, technology, wellness, equity, and opportunity for students throughout our community.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/12962660-fbdd-4e2d-992c-1a1c39091da4?fingerprint=ppb20260209165548" alt="2026 02 09 Sandra Davidson LLF Golf Classic" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/cb66510c-8548-44e0-a1b6-a28cfc2a92f0?fingerprint=ppb20260209165549" alt="2026 02 09 Sandra Davidson" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
