For the past decade, the Jamie Perkins Memorial Golf Tournament and the Charity Classic have been a cornerstone of our community. Together, we have raised an incredible $516,000 to bring our vision of Higher Ground to life.

As we reach a pivotal stage in turning this vision into reality, YWCA Banff has made the decision to pause the golf tournament this year. We are focusing our full energy and resources on ensuring Higher Ground opens as a strong, welcoming, and sustainable space for the Bow Valley community.

While we won’t be gathering on the range, the spirit of the Charity Classic continues. We invite you to join us for an intimate cocktail event as we celebrate our progress and look toward the future of Higher Ground.

• Date: Friday, July 17, 2026 (Full details coming soon)

• Location: Stewart Creek Golf Course, Canmore AB

• What to Expect: An evening of connection, gratitude, and exclusive updates on the Higher Ground facility.
