Canadian, SHARON WOOD is the first woman in North America to climb Mount Everest, and the first woman in the world to climb the world’s highest peak by the difficult West Ridge and without Sherpa support. Despite several attempts their ascent route has never been repeated.

Sharon’s experience as a climber and her careers as a mountain guide, keynote speaker and team development workshop facilitatior span over the course of four decades. As well, she cofounded and chaired a fully accredited private school and raised two fearless boys in her community of Canmore.  Most recently, Sharon’s memoir, Rising was published by Douglas and MacIntyre in Canada and Mountaineers Books in the US.

Since 2015, Canmore locals including the late Jamie Perkins and four like-minded friends hosted an annual event to raise funds for YWCA Banff. Following his untimely passing, Jamie’s teammates carried on his meaningful legacy with Jamie Perkins Memorial Golf Tournament.

This year, our organization is expanding the event to invite more community members to participate in the YWCA Banff Charity Classic golf tournament & culinary experience.

This year’s Charity Classic takes place on Sunday July 28th at Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club. The event brings together approximately 100 avid golfers from Canmore, Banff, our regional markets and beyond to raise money for this much needed Bow Valley project.

Leading up to this wonderful day on the links, Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club’s culinary team will host a 5-course dinner with wine pairings on Saturday, July 27th as part of the fundraiser.

Proceeds from the YWCA Banff Charity Classic will benefit our Higher Ground Project, our plan to bring a new, purpose-built facility to Canmore with a range of services that support people in our community, including women and families, to build their own thriving futures free from violence. Higher Ground will leverage the unique expertise of YWCA Banff and other local agencies to provide relevant, long-term support and a safe space for Bow Valley residents.
