2023 "Squash Dementia" Charity Singles Tournament!

Squash has famously been dubbed ‘the world’s healthiest sport’ and is noted for pushing players’ strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and agility to the limit. Saturday, May 6th, 2023, marks the 9th Annual "Squash Dementia" singles squash tournament, where 72 players take to the singles courts at the Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club and compete for the coveted title and trophy. The momentum we’ve built together over the first eight years will make the 9th annual “Squash Dementia” an even more memorable first-class event and experience.

Who Benefits?
