The Archway Community Services Charity Golf Tournament returns for its eighth year on Tuesday, June 24 along with a fundraising auction and 50/50 raffle.
The annual event brings together community members and local businesses for a day of golf, giving and goodwill in support of programs and services that serve individuals and families across Abbotsford.
“Whether that be supporting newborn babies to seniors, helping those impacted by domestic violence or struggling with mental health issues, addressing food security and homelessness or helping refugees and newcomers settle and build a life in the Fraser Valley," he said.
Gill said the goal this year to boost the total raised past the million-dollar mark.
Funds raised through the tournament support programs such as Immigrant Youth Services, Meals on Wheels and the Community Van.
The Archway Food Bank, Family Centre and Foundry will be featured on the course along with supporting hole sponsors.
Mike Gibson, a realtor with Sutton Group WestCoast Realty, shared why they are returning as the title sponsor for the fifth year.
"In our daily travels as Realtors, we see many diverse needs in the community. Archway gives us the opportunity and the means to help support the needed programs in the region. We are very pleased to give back to the Fraser Valley in this way," he said.
The 50/50 raffle gives participants the opportunity to win up to $10,000 if all tickets are sold. The online auction offers participants the opportunity to win an array of items from local restaurants, businesses and retailers.
Raffle tickets can be found at Archway.ca/Raffle and auction items can be found at Archway.ca/Auction. Both will close at 7:30 p.m. on June 24.
The event, presented by Sutton Group WestCoast Realty and supported by the Abbotsford Canucks, takes place at Ledgeview Golf Club.
