Another year in the books!
Another $25K added to our 13 year total charitable donation.
Other than a few drops of rain during the early morning at the course, the day was another spectacular summer showing for the 13th Annual Federation Charity Golf Classic. The food and fun was plentiful as a full slate of 172 golfers made it through the 18-hole course. We would like to thank everyone for their participation - we are sincerely grateful for your ongoing support to this worthy cause. A big thanks to staff with the Federations - organizers Janeth Mitchell and Alison Zinnick - as well as everyone else who showed up and took part at their assigned posts for the day's event.

Proceeds from our Charity Classic event goes to the MS Society of Canada, Alberta & Northwest Territories Division toward funding programs and services for rural Albertans living with multiple sclerosis.
September 2016 -the Federation girls, Dawn Dietz (FedGas) and Janeth Mitchell (AFREA), delivered the cashable version in person to the MS Society of Canada - AB & NWT Division. Dr. Garry Wheeler (President) and Johanna Green (Northern Regional Director) were on hand to receive our donation for $22,000.00. We are honored to continue to support this cause in hopes they find a cure! In the meantime, they provide essential programs and services to those who are suffering with the disease - those who live in rural areas where access to big city facilities is limited. Great job, everyone!
