‘One Swing for Three Causes’ doles out $23,000

Aug 28, 2026 | 11:10 AM

Organizers with the ‘One Swing for Three Causes’ recently made their official cheque presentation to a trio of very deserving agencies.

The annual golf tournament was held earlier this summer at River Bend in Red Deer, with more than $23,000 raised for Bridges Community Living, the Red Deer Food Bank, and Youth HQ.

It was all put together by the Central Alberta Breakfast Club.

“We are incredibly grateful for the $6,300 raised through the One Swing for Three Causes golf tournament. That gift alone will allow us to provide a dairy product to 1,200 households in our community,” said Christina Sturgeon, Senior Social Impact Officer, Red Deer Food Bank.

“When you’re working with a tight grocery budget, something as simple as milk or cheese or yogurt can be one of the first things that become difficult to afford. This support means 1,200 local households can have one more nutritious item to bring home to their families, and that is a tremendous impact from one event.”

Youth HQ will direct its share of the funds toward maintenance and upkeep at Camp Alexo, while Bridges Community Living will apply its share toward the construction of future low-income housing for seniors in Red Deer.

The tournament was made possible, organizers note, with the help of many sponsors, volunteers and, of course, the golfers.
