    Raising $1M might seem like an impossible goal for a golf tournament, but our annual Supreme Group Salvation Army Golf Classic was up for the challenge. In 2010, a committee of community-minded people, led by John and Sally Leder of Edmonton-based Supreme Group LP, set a multi-year goal to raise $1M toward a much needed new Addictions & Residential Centre (ARC) in Edmonton. The funds raised at this year’s tournament on June 2 resulted in that $1M goal being reached in just five years!

    We’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work supporting this event and making this goal a reality. Reaching this hard-earned goal shows how the dedication of a community can effect real change. Without John & Sally Leder, the golf committee, our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, staff and supporters, this tournament would not be the success it is, having raised nearly $4M dollars for The Salvation Army over its 13 year history.

    “This tournament is so successful because we have such wonderful community support,” says Capt. Pam Goodyear, Divisional Secretary for Public Relations and Development. “We are blessed that we can now look forward to replacing an aging building so we can continue helping people get their lives back on track.”

    The ARC operates many programs and services that focus on mental health and addiction recovery, including an aftercare residence for men, the Transformations Addiction Treatment Program and a low-cost temporary residence for men.
