140 golfers took to the links at Morden’s Minnewasta Golf and Country Club Thursday for the 19th annual Decor Charity Classic.
Over $100,000 was raised for the charities Decor supports; Youth for Christ, Pembina Valley Pregnancy Care Centre, Pembina Valley Counseling Centre, and the Mully Children’s Family Orphanage in Africa.
Dave Schellenberg is CFO of Decor and Chairman of the Charity Classic.
Schellenberg said an event like the Decor Charity Classic could not come together without a lot of help from a lot of people. He said they are very grateful to everyone who made the tournament so successful.
“A big reason why Decor exists is to give back to the community, that’s really why we do what we do,” said Schellenberg. “This is just one of the ways that we can do that amongst many that way that we operate, but this is one that I think is pretty special to us. And it’s one that I think we can show our heart really, and why we ‘re in business. And it shows the kind of organizations that we love to support as well. I think of the Charities that we do support, they support people in every aspect of life, whatever they are going through, every aspect of life, whatever they are going through, these charities kind of hit anybody in society, so we’re really proud to help them out.”
