The Will to Win Classic enters its twenty sixth year in July 2009. This charity golf tournament has raised over $1,000,000
for spinal cord research. These funds contributed significantly to the establishment of the Winnipeg Spinal Cord Research Centre.
The prospect of a continuing source of funds dedicated to spinal cord research made possible the recruitment of talented young
scientists, known as Will to Win Scholars. The existence of the centre and the presence of these dedicated doctors have been
the basis for many advances in our knowledge of the major functional systems of the spinal cord. This new knowledge is now leading
to new strategies for restoration of lost function after injury. Today, the Spinal Cord Research Centre (SCRC) is in a position to
play a leading role in the development of new neurosurgical techniques for treatment of spinal cord injury. In 2009 we begin a new five year commitment to raise $700,000 to fund the creation of a “gifted
professorship” in the Department of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Manitoba.
The successful candidate, recruited through a worldwide search, will work with the existing scientists at the SCRC.
The funds raised on an ongoing basis by the Will to Win participants has been, and continues to be extremely important
to the evolution of the SCRC. Through the support of our numerous sponsors, we are able to make a significant
contribution to spinal cord research. Please review our 2009 sponsor list. The involvement of all participants and
others who support the Will to Win Classic is much appreciated by the Will to Win Tournament Committee. |
