“Red Deer Regional Health Foundation provides critical care and support for people in central Alberta, including many CPKC employees and their families,” said Chad Becker, CPKC Chief of Staff. “CPKC is thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the critical work they do and work with the foundation for the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open.”

A CPKC Women’s Open ProAm auction will appeal to golf enthusiasts who want to participate in the CPKC Women’s Open alongside a pro golfer.

CPKC’s community investment program CPKC Has Heart has raised over $41.5 million to improve the heart health of adults and children in communities across North America.

Central Albertans can also host their own fundraisers to be matched by CPKC. For information on submitting your own fundraiser for consideration, contact the foundation at 403-343-4773 or foundation@ahs.ca.
