Join Bridget’s Bunnies Pregnancy and Infant Loss Foundation on March 7 at 12:00 PM for the 2nd Annual Golf Simulator Tournament in support of Bridget’s Bunnies at North Swing Golf Lounge in Barrie.

The Golf Simulator Tournament is more than a fundraiser; it’s a chance to connect, move, and reset during the winter months, while supporting families in our community who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss.

This family-friendly event welcomes all abilities—no golf experience required—and includes food, a kids' activity room with a fun simulator, raffle prizes, and the chance to play 9 holes on Pebble Beach. With two tee times available (12:00 and 2:00), it’s a great way to connect, have fun, and support families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.

📆 Saturday March 7th @ 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
