YWCA Banff Charity Classic: A New Chapter - Higher Ground Cocktail Evening

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.

This year, we’re gathering for an inspiring evening of cocktails and conversation, celebrating the resilience of those who have turned to YWCA Banff for support, the dedication of our partners, and the strength of a community united for change. Your participation, generosity, and presence directly strengthen our capacity to bring the Higher Ground Project to life and meet the urgent needs of individuals and families across the region. Together, we are advancing pathways to safety, dignity, stable housing, and long-term empowerment.

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.
