2023 SWARTA Charity Golf Tournament

Submitted by Terry Whitehead, SWARTA President

In 2010 SWARTA held the very first golf tournament in Picture Butte in honour of Brie Jensen who was a beloved teacher in Picture Butte and a SWARTA member before he passed away. It has been an honour to bring it back as an ARTA tournament to the course where it began on June 21st, 2023. A total of 88 golfers plus our sponsors travelled to the Picture Butte Golf Club to enjoy a wonderful day of sunshine. Thank you to all the sponsors, donors, golfers, volunteers and staff at the Picture Butte Golf Club. All golfers received a gift bag containing treats, a homemade cookie and a golf shoe bag. Thanks to our sponsors they also received a hamburger lunch and a steak dinner provided by the chef and staff at the Picture Butte Golf Club and everyone was able to choose a prize. Thank you to those who supported our silent auction and 50/50 draw. Due to everyone’s generosity, we are able to make a donation to the ARTA Charitable Foundation for $4600 which will go to help seniors across Alberta find appropriate housing, health services and support with English as a second language.
