Gord Bamford Golf Classic celebrates 10 years of giving
The Gord Bamford Charity Golf Classic is celebrating its tenth anniversary.
Through the event, Bamford’s foundation has raised more than $2.7 million for youth charities and is poised to break the $3 million mark with its latest gala and golf tournament.
“It all began in 2008 with a small golf tournament in Lacombe, Alberta to try and raise a few bucks for charity,” Bamford says. “I have proudly watched it grow into the exciting event it is today, and [am] even prouder to see the donations actually out there making a true difference for both kids and communities.”
Festivities get started Wednesday with a dinner event at the Sheraton hotel in Red Deer before golfers hit the links alongside a number of celebrities Thursday at the Lacombe Golf and Country Club.
