Two local non-profits are thankful for the donation of $34,000 each from Autumn Leaves.
Their annual charitable golf tournament was a huge success. This year’s benefactors are the Lloydminster Sexual Assault Services and the SPARK Foundation of Lloydminster.
“Over the years, this tournament has contributed almost $1,074,500 to the community, with the success being credited largely to our sponsors who lend their time and financial support,” stated Autumn Leaves.
Sexual Assault Centre CEO, Emma McAdam, said the funds will go directly back into helping the community.
“It will help us in providing forensic interviews for the children that come to our centre,” stated McAdam. “We work alongside the RCMP who support us in those interviews.”
From the perspective of the SPARK foundation, CEO Angela Rooks-Trotzuk provided a few suggestions for where it will go.
“It will go towards our public education,” she said. “It will help us provide our outreach and education programs within Lloydminster and area.”
Autumn Leaves would also like to thank its sponsors, golfers, committee members and volunteers for another great year. They hope to see everyone at next year’s tournament on Aug. 21, 2025.
