Golf tournaments tee off toward a common goal
Under a cloudless sky with not a whisper of a wind, on the morning of June 12, 2025, 132 ambitious men and women, ranging in age from teens to eighties, gathered at the Fly-in Golf Course in Steinbach, Man., to rally together and support a common goal.
SBC golf team members celebrate at the Manitoba tournament.
Nearly a month later and over 2,000 kms to the northwest, under heavily clouded skies and fierce winds, 65 different individuals gathered together at the La Crete Golf Course to support the same goal. These individuals clubbed and then chased a little white ball around a large acreage, trying to avoid water, sand, and trees and head toward a flag that proudly stands above a small hole in the ground. Once that little white ball has been deposited in the hole 18 times, an amazing feeling of victory comes over these individuals. The end result of that which they have been pursuing all day is an enormous amount of money that gets sent to EMC Project Builders.
Both tournaments began with coffee and muffins in the morning, and all participants were also treated to a delicious all-you-can eat meal. The tournaments were Texas Scramble-style with a variety of contests throughout the course and numerous donated prizes given out. Together, these tournaments raised over $78,000.
The Alberta tournament saw some young participants come and compete.
Project Builders has been raising money in various forms since 1973 and has sent over 3.5 million dollars to hundreds of projects in over 50 countries since then. In 2025, Project Builders set a goal to send over $175,000 to 19 different projects in 14 different countries.
