The countdown is on. In just one week, the 20th Annual Hockey Alberta Foundation Golf Classic presented by ATB Wealth hits the fairways, creating another opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of young Albertans.
“To reach 20 years in anything today, it is an amazing accomplishment. At ATB Wealth we are a proud title sponsor, knowing the important role, on having people experience the great game of hockey that has given so much to so many people in terms of the skills not only that it’s taught you on the ice but more importantly skills and friendships that it’s taught you off the ice.”
Chris Turchansky, ATB Wealth.
Taking place July 21-22, the Golf Classic promises two days of community, connection, and friendly competition. Kicking off with an exclusive VIP experience for golfers on Day One that will lead into the main event on Day Two. But more than just a tournament, it’s a celebration of opportunity, inclusion, and the power of hockey to shape brighter futures across Alberta.
This year, we’re inviting everyone to follow along throughout the day on Hockey Alberta’s social media channels for behind the scenes moments, sponsor highlights, and inspiring stories from participants and supporters. Additionally, for the first time ever, our silent auction will be available online, allowing anyone to join the fundraising efforts from anywhere in Alberta.
The goal of the day is simple, yet powerful, raise funds for the Hockey Alberta Foundation, with a special focus on the Every Kid Every Community (EKEC) program. This initiative works year round to remove barriers and open doors ensuring that every child in Alberta has the chance to play hockey, make memories, and experience the game for the very first time.
“What every kid every community is really trying to do is create new kids in the game and give them an opportunity that they may or may not have had. That has now branched into other things like our leadership programs and scholarships” Jeff Robson, Vada Capital and Goal line Partners Sponsor.
Last year’s event raised an incredible $148,000 for the EKEC program and we’re aiming even higher in 2025. Whether you’re swinging a club or placing a bid, your support fuels access, growth, and opportunity for kids across the province.
