An invitation to you

The time has come again to mark your summer and fall calendars with golf dates and other outdoor adventures. Don’t forget this important date: Saturday September 17th for the Emily Brydon Youth Foundation Golf Tournament.

Now more than ever the Emily Brydon Youth Foundation needs your help. For the first time since its creation in 2006 we have higher demand than supply. It was heart wrenching to have to turn children away who would have benefited highly from the programs in the Valley. The Foundation is also growing as the awareness and need grows with it. We have diversified in ways we never envisioned and are always open to new ideas and new suggestions.

The children who have benefited from this program have not only reaped the obvious benefits of either playing, acting or going to camp, they have also met new people, overcome personal hurdles and have a new hope for the future. By giving one child an opportunity to experience sports, arts and activities in the Valley, you are opening new doors for them, where they learn to believe in themselves and understand that people believe in them.

To date, the EBYF Golf Tournament has raised over $90,000 combined with other donations of $40,000 which in turn has meant $107,000 given to beneficiaries. I hope that this is still the beginning and that the Foundation can continue to grow and give back. There is need in this Valley and I truly believe that if you can give every child the right to believe and an opportunity to follow a dream, it will only be beneficial in the long run.

I have seen and experienced the immense power of sport, activity, socializing and playing. It is essential that we give the tools and opportunities to our children so that they too can pursue their dreams. Your generous support will directly benefit children in the Elk Valley and that is something to be proud of.

For those who have never experienced an EBYF Golf Tourny, you will be in for a day of fun, laughs and many surprises, I promise. It is far from conventional and you will see things on this course you will never have seen before. Bring your open mind, smiling faces and don’t forget your flippers.
See you September 18th at the Fernie Golf and Country Club.

Sincerely
Emily Brydon
