TEEING OFF WITH WAYNE

Leather bags donated for The Great One’s charity golf tournament

This weekend, players taking part in the Wayne Gretzky Foundation’s annual charity golf tournament will receive Roots bags donated for the occasion. More than 150 small customized Banff Bags filled with golf-related items will be presented to participants at the beginning of the event being held at the Angus Glen Golf Course in Markham, Ontario.
The bags are made of soft, black leather with contrast ecru-coloured stitching detail. They come with the Wayne Gretzky Foundation logo embroidered on the side and include tan-coloured luggage tags. The tags carry a photograph of The Great One along with a Roots discount card.
Funds raised at the event will go to the Wayne Gretzky Foundation, which helps underprivileged youngsters in Canada and the United States to experience the sport of hockey, both as participants in amateur play and as spectators at NHL games.
Roots is also donating a custom-made Wayne Gretzky Jacket for a charity auction to be held by Walter Gretzky, Wayne’s father, on Tuesday.
