Beverly Charity Classic

Members at Beverly are able to enjoy a great lifestyle at the club. Unfortunately, some other members of the greater Hamilton community are not so lucky, and the club believes in giving back to the community which it serves. The Beverly Charity Classic golf tournament is the way we do that.

The 2010 the tournament was held on Monday, June 7th and raised almost $30,000 for the James Birrell Foundation and the Canadian Diabetic Association.  It has become recognized as a superior tournament, and a valuable event to support annually.

  • To donate 100% of the proceeds of the tournament to the identified charities
