2018 Golf Support Recipients

Our Inaugural Year Donation Proceeds Supported Two Local Charities.

Thank you to all the participants and supporters that made these donations happen.

 

 

 On April 15th, 2019, Charitable Foundation Director Ian Robb was joined by the Tackaberry/Kronewitt Family to present a cheque for $65,000.00 to the Secord Community League. These funds were raised at the 2018 John Tackaberry Memorial Golf Tournament and were the first to be given out. This donation is particularly special to the Foundation as the Playground that will be built with the funds is in the green space beside David Thomas King School. Both Johns' grandchildren, Avery and Jack Kronewitt, attend David Thomas King School and will get to enjoy not only the playground but their Grandfather's memory for years to come.

On June 11th, 2019, Terry Parker, the President of the Charitable Foundation was joined by Jacquie Tackaberry and Delanee Daviau to present a cheque for $30,000.00 to the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital. The Glenrose plans to use this donation to provide the Pediatrics Wing with its own Audiology Booth. This donation was made possible by our participants' and sponsors' continued support.

The Building Trades of Alberta (BTA) officially set up the Foundation in 2001, but our philanthropic efforts date back to at least 1991 when volunteers began raising money for Diabetes research. After formalizing the fundraising activities into a foundation, the BTA expanded our efforts to jobsite raffles. Most of the nearly $6.5 million raised by the Foundation has been raised through raffles, but the Foundation also holds other fundraising events throughout the year. Our annual Memorial Charity Golf Tournament is named in honour of Brother John Tackaberry of the IUPAT Local 177 and he was a Director of the BTA Charitable Foundation.

The John Tackaberry Memorial Golf Tournament would not exist without the efforts and encouragement of our industry family and supporters. So, to everyone who contributes their money, time, and/or effort to help ensure this event is a success and a worthy tribute to John, we say a big THANK YOU.
