Archway Community Services raised more than $101,000 in support of local programs at its recent ninth annual charity golf tournament.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Jacky Gill, chair of the Archway golf committee and RBC regional vice-president, said the generosity seen at the tournament every year is \u201cnothing short of remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to witness our community come together to support programs that directly enhance the well-being of children, families, youth and seniors across Abbotsford,\u201d Gill said.<\/p>\n
Throughout the course, several Archway programs were highlighted, giving participants an opportunity to learn more about the breadth of services available in the community. <\/p>\n
Showcased programs included the Archway Family Centre, Community Living, Community-Based Employment Services, Supportive Housing, and Multicultural Services.<\/p>\n
An on-course fundraiser and pledge drive generated $26,000 specifically in support of the Archway Starfish Pack Program.<\/p>\n
In the 2025\/26 school year, the program supported more than 750 children across 41 schools in Abbotsford each weekend. <\/p>\n
This summer, more than 500 children will access food through bi-weekly pickups provided through the Summer Starfish program.<\/p>\n
Archway CEO Rod Santiago said the success of the tournament \u201creflects the strength and compassion of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Support for the annual tournament came from dozens of sponsors and donors, along with contributions through a public online auction and 50\/50 raffle.<\/p>\n
Proceeds from the tournament help fund Archway programs and services that support children, youth, seniors and families across Abbotsford.<\/p>\n
Since its inception, the tournament (presented by Sutton Group \u2013 West Coast Realty Abbotsford) has raised more than $635,000 in support of the 90+ programs and services Archway provides to the community.<\/p>\n
Planning is already underway for next year\u2019s tournament.
