More than $465,000 was raised at the 11th annual Gord Bamford Charity Golf Classic held last week in Lacombe.
Money raised from the event is the main source of fundraising for The Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation, which supports a variety of youth-centered charities across the country including Central Alberta.
Bamford attributes the event’s success to long-time supporters and sponsors, country music’s strong sense of community, a solid committee, and an enthusiastic group of volunteers.
“This event is a testament to the way Albertans pull together to support their communities. It’s been 11 years of building tremendous friendships with sponsors, attendees, and the great people that operate these important charities. It’s a real pleasure to be able to support such a long list of worthy recipients,” said Bamford.
