The 2024 Golf Mixer was held in Acheson at The Ranch Golf & Country Club, one of Alberta’s premier golf courses.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Golf Mixer participants, we raised over $3,479.25 in support of the vital work Food Banks Alberta does for communities across the province.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone at the Golf Mixer who contributed donations to Food Banks Alberta in the 50/50, Prize Raffle and direct donations! We are thrilled to see our members, sponsors and golfers supporting the important work and positive impact that Food Banks make in our province.
It was especially meaningful to have representatives from Food Banks Alberta at the event, giving us a chance to hear directly about the difference our contributions will make in their important work.

Greens, Games, and Giveaways: How our Sponsors Made Our Golf Tournament a Swinging Success
The golf tournament was packed with exciting activities and generous giveaways, thanks to our incredible sponsors. The very early morning started off right with golfers being fueled up for the day with grab n’ go breakfast sandwiches, courtesy of Concept Controls.
Hot breakfast sandwiches weren’t all golfers had in their hands, Smart Fix Asphalt Infrared Repair made sure they had extra balls as our ball sponsor, and All About Abatement helped them get to where they were going as our Golf Cart sponsor.
Golfers had lots to look forward to beyond the greens that day… one lucky golfer will end up far past the fescue after taking home the $1000 WestJet Grand Prize, sponsored by Wade Consulting.
After an 8:00 am shotgun start, golfers got busy and down to the business of the day – connecting and networking with other golfers, and of course, connecting with sponsors at every hole. To keep their energy and spirits up, golfers were supplied with tasty conversation starting beverages thanks to KDM Management and Premier Fire & Flood Restoration helped stave off hunger disaster with their snack sponsorship.
Our Hole Sponsors, Putting Green and Driving Range Sponsors brought their A-game to make the event a memorable one for all the golfers.
Homeward Trust Edmonton got things started with a Giant Connect 4 game, where participants competed for prizes, adding a fun and competitive edge to the day. Entuitive Corporation kept the energy high with a range of games and tasty snacks, while Morrison Hershfield, now Stantec, kept players on their toes with their minute-to-win-it challenges, also fueling the crowd with even more snacks.
Not to be outdone, Normac Reliance set up a large display tent, providing snacks and a generous giveaway, making sure players had everything they needed to stay energized. Miraculous Maids provided a sugary selection of classic candies AND a cleaning package prize giveaway.
Nordic Mechanical Services spiced things up with Ladder Golf and alcohol service, creating a relaxed atmosphere for golfers to enjoy. ServiceMaster Restore went all out with their highly anticipated mini donuts and slushies, drawing attention with the fresh baked donuts and their trailer parked at one of the holes.
Not to mention, 4-Way Inspection Services brought a fun football-themed game and lively music, making sure players stayed entertained while enjoying chats, snacks and beverages. Off the Ledge entertained golfers with cornhole and ring toss games, offering branded giveaways and refreshments to keep everyone cool and engaged.
Paul Davis Restoration tested players’ memory and luck with a draw prize game involving golf tees and song lyrics, alongside fruit kabobs and candy. Trusty Tree Services brought just one piece of their large equipment, a woodchipper to draw golfers’ attention toward their chipping game and prizes. Down the way Acclaimed! added a touch more danger with an ax throwing contest (don’t worry they were plastic) and group photos.
There were 3 exciting Hole-In-One challenges, where participants had a real shot at winning BIG thanks to Blueprint Management ($2,500), BFL ($10,000), and our title sponsor, HUB Insurance who dangled an impressive $25,000 prize offer to golfers. In the end, these sponsors got to keep their prize money…we can only hope they save it for next year and give our golfers time to sharpen their skills!
In addition to the fantastic activities, other sponsors also brought unique experiences to the course, including Donewell Property Services & EDL Building Solutions who got creative and collaborated on the Putting Green, a putting challenge …from a toilet seat. Sitting on a sparkling white toilet, front and center of the Ranch’s Clubhouse on the Putting Green, definitely roused plenty of eyebrows and laughs while inspiring a playful competition.
