Archway Community Services raised more than $101,000 in support of local programs at its recent ninth annual charity golf tournament.
A total of 140 golfers took part in the event on June 23 at Ledgeview Golf Club, exceeding the $95,000 raised at the 2025 tournament by more than six per cent.
The tournament brought together residents, business leaders, and long-time supporters for a day of friendly competition, connection and a shared purpose of giving back.
Jacky Gill, chair of the Archway golf committee and RBC regional vice-president, said the generosity seen at the tournament every year is “nothing short of remarkable.”
“It’s inspiring to witness our community come together to support programs that directly enhance the well-being of children, families, youth and seniors across Abbotsford,” Gill said.
Throughout the course, several Archway programs were highlighted, giving participants an opportunity to learn more about the breadth of services available in the community.
Showcased programs included the Archway Family Centre, Community Living, Community-Based Employment Services, Supportive Housing, and Multicultural Services.
An on-course fundraiser and pledge drive generated $26,000 specifically in support of the Archway Starfish Pack Program.
In the 2025/26 school year, the program supported more than 750 children across 41 schools in Abbotsford each weekend.
This summer, more than 500 children will access food through bi-weekly pickups provided through the Summer Starfish program.
Archway CEO Rod Santiago said the success of the tournament “reflects the strength and compassion of our community.”
“The funds raised will enhance a wide range of vital services, including the Starfish Pack Program, which plays a critical role in addressing food insecurity for hundreds of children in Abbotsford,” he said.
Support for the annual tournament came from dozens of sponsors and donors, along with contributions through a public online auction and 50/50 raffle.
Proceeds from the tournament help fund Archway programs and services that support children, youth, seniors and families across Abbotsford.
Since its inception, the tournament (presented by Sutton Group – West Coast Realty Abbotsford) has raised more than $635,000 in support of the 90+ programs and services Archway provides to the community.
Planning is already underway for next year’s tournament. Companies interested in being involved can email golf@archway.ca for more information.
