2023 Charity Golf Tournament – PFB

The 2023 Charity Golf Tournament for Parkland Food Bank, is one of our signature fundraising events of the year. Your support goes beyond providing a helping hand, but spreads hope and compassion throughout our community!

“The Parkland Food Bank has some of the most amazing, caring staff I have EVER seen at a local food bank. Its very obvious THEY CARE and do not Judge you for needing help – whether it be one time or on going.
Hampers are a lot more than I expected and it’s SO appreciated given the disastrous economy we are in. They do WHATEVER they can to help!
Thank you so much for being there for the people thru the pandemic and the horrid economy.
A HUGE Thank you from my daughter & I. We would be starving if your help wasn’t available.”

Join us on June 23, 2023, for an incredible day of FUNdraising, lots of laughter, prizes and time to connect with friends and coworkers.
