Last year, the ‘Be a Hero, Golf with a Hero’ golf tournament raised $20,000. This money was used to support Calgary children in need and their families. With these dollars, Burns Memorial Fund is able to:

• Help six families by providing financial support for needs such as children’s health, education, and recreation needs, OR
• Provide support to keep six high school students in school, OR
• Give grants to four community organizations working with children, OR
• Fund orthodontic care for up to four children.

The 2009 tournament was a huge success. This year we need your help more than ever. The Fund’s revenues are generated from the estate of Senator Patrick Burns, which has been severely impacted by the recent market crash. That means our resources are decreasing as the need in the community rises. You can help by hitting the links with members of the Calgary Police Service and Calgary Fire Department. It’s the perfect way to close out your golfing season!

The sponsoring organizations are pleased to provide Burns Memorial Fund with the net proceeds from this tournament.  The estimated cost of the golf tournament is $48,000.  The estimated contribution to Burns Memorial Fund is $25,000.
