On June 1st, the Alberta Region of Les Clef d’Or Canada breathed a sigh of relief as we arose, greeted by a beautiful sunny morning with which to host our 15th Annual Golden Keys Invitational Golf Tournament.
Impeccable weather on a golf day always draws a sizeable crowd, and indeed, this day was no exception, as we enjoyed a course full of both, golfers and our wonderful hole sponsors, ranging from beverages, to butlers, Via Ferreta, and a 1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud!
We would like to thank our Title sponsor, Maple Leaf restaurant group, for their generous support! We would also like to recognize all of our Platinum, Gold and Bronze sponsors. Thank you to all of the generous businesses in Banff, Calgary, and Edmonton for their wonderful support including our wonderful prizes to present to our lucky golfers.
The golf course itself was in top shape with perfectly manicured fairways and putting greens. The incredible vistas and beautiful surroundings offered at the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course were nothing short of stunning and were thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Thank you to David Roberts the Regional Vice-President & General Manager for personally taking the time to help organize the event, and for all of the support from The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel!
As the day progressed, our excellent social media team did the rounds, recording the day’s events as they unfolded; tweeting, posting to Facebook, Instagram, and of course, providing recognition for our beloved sponsors. @ABLesClefsdor #goldenkeysgolf #ABConcierge
Our charity of choice, Bow Valley Victim Services is a key player in the Banff National Park and Kananaskis area, responding to family tragedies, supporting people that both reside in and travel through the area. On this occasion, we raised over $5000. for this wonderful charity, which puts our total-to-date at over $40 000.!
Of course, we were absolutely delighted to present these funds to Bow Valley Victim Services, which provides such an incredible service to the communities that they support. These funds will allow them to assist even more families in need. We are excited to announce that because of our continued support, Les Clefs d’Or Alberta Concierge are now recognized as a major community partner.
The Annual Golden Keys Invitational Golf Tournament is one of the most important fundraising events in the region of Alberta, greatly assisting members in attending Les Clef d’Or Congresses, both at the National and International level.
