Western Grocer Serving the industry since 1916
On July 22nd, over 300 golfers and 43 volunteers enjoyed a day on the greens at the 19th annual Buy-Low Foods/Variety Golf Classic at Surrey’s Northview Golf and Country Club, and raised $77,400 for Variety – The Children’s Charity.
The funds go towards helping children in British Columbia who have special needs with life-saving medications and trips to out-of-community hospitals for critical care;
life-changing mobility and communication equipment and therapies; and life-enhancing opportunities to attend special schools and summer camps.
“Variety truly appreciates our special partnership with Buy-Low Foods,” says Dave McConachie, Variety’s interim executive director. “We share the same belief that kids who have special needs are champions, capable of achieving remarkable little victories. Thanks to Buy-Low’s many years of support, more kids are able to meet their unique potential.”
“We look forward to this event every year,” says Dan Bregg, president of Buy-Low Foods. “It allows us to thank our suppliers and partners for their continued support, while at the same time celebrate the difference we make in the community working as a team.”
The event is one of a series of fundraisers spearheaded by Buy-Low for Variety, its charity of choice for over 30 years. To date, Buy-Low’s support represents over $3 million for Variety.
