Sam Fabro Memorial Golf Classic 2019

Posted on September 16, 2019

On September 4th, we celebrated Sam Fabro’s life in the best way we know how – a round of golf! This marked the 25th Annual Sam Fabro Memorial Golf Classic at Pine Ridge Golf Club and it was a record-smashing success with a sold-out crowd. Clear blue skies shone down as our golfers set out on a course full of fun – putting contest, raffles, iced coffee, beer, shots, pizza and of course… hatchet throwing. Would it really be a FortWhyte event without it?

Thanks to our generous sponsors and a fantastic team of golfers we raised an incredible $50,000+ in support of environmental education at FortWhyte Alive. 

We can’t thank our wonderful sponsors enough for their continued support. This year saw new sponsorship levels, new sponsors, and a lot of familiar faces. None of this would be possible without the sustained support of our amazing community.
