One need only look at 2008 Tournament Chair Greg Bieber's wide grin and thumbs up to gauge the success of the16th Annual United Way of Winnipeg Golf Tournament, held Wednesday, August 6 at Pine Ridge Golf Club.

"We had perfect weather and an enthusiastic crowd," said Bieber. "It was a wonderful experience and I'm honoured to have taken part as Chair."
The event raised a record $64 000 - more than $25 000 over last year - bringing the total funds raised to almost $400 000 since the tournament's inception.
The tournament also broke a record for attendance. A total of 157 golfers on 39 teams enjoyed a spectacular day in ideal conditions.
