Charity Golf Tournament for BC Cancer Foundation

Swinging for a Cause: Our 50th Anniversary Charity Golf Tournament

What better way to celebrate 50 years of community, connection, and commitment than with a day on the green — all for a great cause?

This past Thursday, September 18th, we hosted our 50th Anniversary Charity Golf Tournament in support of the BC Cancer Foundation, and wow — what a day! The sun was shining, the fairways were buzzing, and the spirit of generosity was in full swing.

Golfers and guests included familiar faces from the Forman family, our amazing employees and managers, long-time clients, friends, family, and some incredible corporate sponsors who helped make the event a huge success. Whether they were teeing off, or cheering from the sidelines, everyone played a part in making this day unforgettable.

And the best part? Together, we raised $50,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation!

We were honoured to have members of the Forman family present the cheque — a powerful moment that captured the heart of what this event was all about: giving back to a cause that touches so many lives.

From all of us here, thank you to everyone who came out, donated, volunteered, and helped us celebrate this milestone in such a meaningful way. Here’s to 50 years — and to many more moments of impact ahead!
