In Alberta\u2019s oil and gas sector, community impact has always gone hand-in-hand with operational excellence. Whether supporting local economies, driving innovation, or giving back to the communities where we work, the industry has a long-standing commitment to making a difference.<\/p>\n

This September, there\u2019s another opportunity to do just that while enjoying a late summer day on the course with peers and partners!<\/p>\n

The 3rd Annual GDM Golf Charity Classic<\/a> returns on September 2, 2026, at the Inglewood Golf & Curling Club in Calgary, bringing together industry professionals for a day of networking, friendly competition, and meaningful impact.<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t just another golf tournament! It\u2019s a chance to directly support one of Calgary\u2019s most impactful grassroots charities: Brown Bagging for Calgary\u2019s Kids (BB4CK).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Food insecurity remains a growing challenge across Alberta, particularly for our kids. Organizations like BB4CK are working on the frontlines to address this issue, ensuring that kids have access to the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive.<\/p>\n

BB4CK is a community-funded, non-profit organization that prepares and delivers over 8000 lunches to Calgary students each school day, supported by hundreds of volunteers across the city. Their programs extend beyond the classroom, including summer meal support and initiatives to help families facing ongoing food insecurity.<\/p>\n

What sets BB4CK apart is its community-driven approach. Food is provided with dignity, making sure kids get the support they need without stigma.<\/p>\n

Now in its third year, the GDM Golf Charity Classic is quickly becoming a staple event for Calgary\u2019s business and energy community. With a cap of 84 golfers, the tournament offers an fun, high-quality experience. The format is Best Ball, making it accessible and enjoyable for players of all skill levels. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned golfer or just looking for a day outside the office, get ready for some fun hole challenges, camaraderie, and good competition.<\/p>\n

It also provides brand visibility among a highly relevant audience of industry peers and decision-makers.

Make a Donation<\/a>: Even if attending isn\u2019t in the cards, donations help extend the reach of BB4CK\u2019s programs, directly turning dollars into meals for kids in Calgary.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Supporting BB4CK isn\u2019t just about philanthropy. It\u2019s about investing in the future of the communities that sustain our workforce and operations. And perhaps just as importantly, it\u2019s about connection.<\/p>\n
