The Gentle Ben honours the memory of Ben Pearl, father of Steven and Michael Pearl, the tournament’s founders. Ben passed away from cancer in 1997, and was known for his gentle nature and his commitment to volunteering at our sister golf tournament – the Dr. Jay Classic.

The Gentle Ben Charity Challenge is administered through the Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation, which allocates funds to our designated beneficiaries.
