Annual Charity Golf Classic in Support of The Salvation Army
TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2024 /CNW/ - The Salvation Army will be swinging for hope on Friday, September 13, at the iconic Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville as they host their Annual Charity Golf Classic, raising funds to support the life-changing programs and services that help struggling individuals and families.
"The Salvation Army is excited for this year's Annual Charity Golf Classic, and we are tremendously grateful for all our volunteers and participating sponsors who help us achieve our mission and reach our fundraising goal," Glenn van Gulik, divisional secretary for public relations and territorial marketing. "Your support helps The Salvation Army provide transformative programs and services to our neighbours in need."
In its most recent 2024 Canadian Poverty and Socioeconomic Study, The Salvation Army reports that three in four Canadians face food security challenges, with more individuals indicating they have skipped or reduced the size of at least one meal because they couldn't afford groceries. In addition, among those who accessed a food bank in the last year, more than half (61%) were first-time users.
"The generosity of those who support The Salvation Army's work is helping provide hope to the most vulnerable," said van Gulik. "We encourage everyone to help wherever they can by donating today at SalvationArmy.ca. Your gift will have a life-changing impact on someone in need."
This year's Golf Classic will feature almost 150 golfers, 25 generous sponsors and lots of fantastic giveaways.

- Presenting Sponsor: Davis Branding and Design
- Titanium Sponsor: Diane Mavrinac
