Other hole-in-one prizes on the course included: Two Nike Sasquatch drivers, 36 dozen Nike golf balls and a free week at the Trump/Atlantic City hotel and golf course. Enterprise Car Rentals was helping golfers with water bottles and towels while the local hockey team, the Hamilton Bulldogs and their mascot Bruiser, were out in force, with a Closest to the Net competition and for those golfers that are good at hockey, first prize of season tickets to the Bulldogs 2006-2007 season. Discount Car and Truck Rentals featured special prizes for the golfers closest to the pin. Today's Heroes hosted a silent auction during dinner with donations to Neighbour to Neighbour Food Bank.

The June 29th golf event at Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club was delayed from the original rain-soaked date of May 4 this year and the new date was welcomed by warmth and sunshine followed by a steak dinner and special awards and prizes. A one thousand dollar cheque was awarded to Help a Child Smile Foundation on behalf of the tournament and Foundation representative Bertha Bertrand, collision co-manager of Brian Cullen Motors in St. Catharines, and one of last year’s Influential Women in Collision Repair award winners, accepted the cheque with thanks.
Overall Low Gross winner, Paul Reynolds, took home a 35th Anniversary Golf plaque, has his name on the Harry Shannon Memorial trophy and won a trip anywhere in Canada courtesy of Rick Valin, BASF- bodyshopmall.com. Paul immediately auctioned off his ticket with proceeds going to the Help a Child Smile Foundation. Highest bidder was Don McLaughlin of Goodturn Ride Centres and the winner of a Hamilton apprenticeship and skilled trades training award. Don McLaughlin was also highest bidder on a BBQ auction, initially won by Terry Bonar and then donated to the Foundation charity.
