Drive for Distress Golf Tournament | Distress Centre Calgary

What a Day! Thank You for Driving Change with Us!

Our 3rd Annual Drive for Distress Charity Golf Tournament was a hole-in-one success—and it’s all thanks to YOU!

On June 19, 2025, at the beautiful Elbow Springs Golf Club, our community came together for an unforgettable day of golf, laughter, generosity, and heart. From the first swing to the final dinner toast, the energy and support were truly inspiring.

To our amazing participants, generous sponsors, auction donors, dedicated volunteers, and community supporters—we are so grateful. Your time, contributions, and spirit of giving help ensure that vital crisis support programs continue to be available to Albertans in need.

A huge shoutout to everyone who bid in our silent auction, bought raffle tickets, or simply showed up with a smile and an open heart. Because of you, we’re one step closer to a stronger, more supported community.

We can’t wait to see you next year—same swing, even more impact.

Thank you for making a difference—one swing at a time.

If you’re interested in an un-fore-gettable opportunity to support our community as a sponsor next year, we’d love to chat! Reach out to learn more.
