The fourth annual MSJ Charity Golf Classic wrapped up with smiles, sunshine, and a remarkable $73,000 raised to support the residents and staff at Mont St. Joseph Home in Prince Albert.<\/p>\n

Held on July 4 at Kachur\u2019s Golf Club, the sold-out tournament brought together 144 golfers, a mix of corporate sponsors, local business owners, resident families, and community members, all eager to support the work of the Mont St. Joseph Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a fantastic turnout; it was a sold-out event,\u201d said Wayne Nogier, CEO of the Mont St. Joseph Foundation. \u201cThe weather cooperated, and people came out to enjoy themselves, have fun, and really be part of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The funds raised will help update the 27-year-old facility, especially inside the resident living areas. Planned improvements include renovations that will enhance the delivery of food services and create a more homelike, comfortable atmosphere for residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very big enhancement,\u201d said Nogier. \u201cIt allows our teams to continue fostering a home-like environment while delivering meals to our residents. We\u2019re really grateful for everyone\u2019s support.\u201d<\/p>\n

While no one managed to clinch the much-anticipated $25,000 hole-in-one prize this year, despite four holes offering the jackpot, the tournament was full of energy and laughter. Nogier noted that last year\u2019s event saw one lucky participant make the shot, leading to plenty of hopeful and playful competition this time around.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was lots of conversation this year about the hole-in-one happening again,\u201d Nogier said. \u201cMother Nature just didn\u2019t cooperate; it was breezy, and you\u2019d see great shots fall short. Still, it was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nogier also highlighted the critical role of Kachur\u2019s Golf Club, calling them \u201camazing partners\u201d who go above and beyond to make the event a success. \u201cPeople were really impressed with the supper afterward; that\u2019s all thanks to Kachur\u2019s,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, the Foundation is gearing up for its next big event: Grandparents Day, set for September 14. As part of a national celebration, families will be invited to Mont St. Joseph Home for a fall barbecue and the ever-popular golf ball drop. In partnership with the Prince Albert Fire Department, 3,000 golf balls will be dropped from a fire truck onto a hole across the street, with prizes for lucky winners.<\/p>\n

For Nogier, the golf tournament and all the Foundation\u2019s events are about more than just fundraising. \u201cAt Mont St. Joseph, we always say we\u2019re different, but more importantly, we\u2019re part of the Prince Albert community,\u201d he said. \u201cThe support we get is overwhelming. We just love being here.\u201d<\/p>\n
