Golfers: Hit the greens for the Concordia Memorial Golf Tournament’s 25th anniversary

Register now for the fundraiser on August 15 to support our students

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Concordia Memorial Golf Tournament — a university tradition and a fundraiser for students in need.  

This year’s event is Wednesday, August 15, at the Hemmingford Golf Club. It’s a full day that includes a brunch, dinner, and prizes. Optional bus transportation is available at no additional cost.

“It’s the spirit of the event that keeps me coming back every year,” says Lisa Williamson, an administrative clerk with IITS and a 15-year veteran of the tournament. She started going with her mother, Sandra Whitney, who also worked at Concordia at the time, and hasn’t missed a tournament since.

“There’s a true spirit of camaraderie that I really enjoy. We all volunteer our time and work together to put on a fun event for the Concordia community,” says Williamson, who is now a member of the organizing committee.

The tournament is great way to meet fellow Concordians. The popular event attracts a friendly crowd of more than 150 people annually, including faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the university. All levels are welcome.

“Because it’s the 25th anniversary, we’re going above and beyond this year,” says Williamson. “We want to create a big bang, so there are some surprises in store!”

The tournament began in 1992 as a morale booster the year after the tragic deaths of four Concordia professors. It later became a fundraiser to support students through bursaries.

The tournament has raised over $177,000 for the Concordia Memorial Golf Tournament Bursary Endowment. It funds six bursaries, each valued at $1,000, awarded annually to a graduate student, a student athlete and one undergraduate from each faculty.
