The Willow Park Charity Golf Classic began with a simple idea; a belief in the importance of giving back to the community, of supporting worthwhile causes on behalf of the Willow Park Golf Club and its members.

After hundreds of applicants, YW Calgary has been honored to be Willow Park’s chosen charity for 2023. The tournament will be held on Wednesday, July 19 and Thursday, July 20, 2023, at the Willow Park Golf and Country Club. It will feature an exciting 18-rounds of golf, entertainment, and a live and silent auction.

All proceeds raised from the event auction will support the new YW Sheriff King Home Redevelopment inclusive playground. This new crisis shelter and affordable housing facility will see up to 40 moms and more than 100 children at any given time on the site —recovering, healing, and rebuilding as they move forward in life. The “Willow Park” playground will be accessible for children of all abilities from 3-12 years old. YW believes Willow Park will allow families a sense of normalcy in a time of turmoil. It is a place where mothers can feel safe, and their children can connect with other kids.

Participating businesses are prominently featured in our event program and online auction software, including logo placement. The auction opens to the public one week prior to the event and will be promoted to our email database of over 13,000 and on YW Calgary’s social media platforms that have a combined reach of more than 21,000.

If possible, we ask that any items be received by June 30, 2023, to ensure proper recognition.  For donations valued at $1,000 and above, the company and/or contribution will be showcased in a pre-event email and on our event website (www.ywcalgary.ca/willowpark ) leading up to the event date.
