  • Thank you to Donald Miyazaki, the PGA of BC Board and members for your outstanding support of people living with ALS.
    2013 was a banner year for the Golfathon for ALS.  Your outstanding efforts were recognized with 3 BC awards and 3 National Awards!
    The Exceptional Public Awareness Awards in the individual category went to Steve Darling, the spokesperson for the PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS. 
    In the Corporate Partners and Sponsors category, the PGA of BC was the recipient of the BC and National Awards.
    The Exceptional Fundraising in a 3rd Party Event, former CPGA member Don McCusker was the recipient.  Don is living with ALS.  This year he participated again at The Vancouver Golf Club.

  • Since the inception of the PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS in 2005 nearly $870,000 has been raised to support people living with ALS in B.C. Over 2,800 people affected by ALS have been helped.  Thank you to the PGA of BC members for your support.

  • In 2005, Bruce Taylor who was recently diagnosed with ALS, met for a cup of coffee with PGA Golf Pro, Scott Fraser at his course, Glacier Greens in Comox.  They were joined by Rotarian Jerry Feniak..  He explained to his friends about ALS and the support he receives from the ALS Society of B.C. 

    Bruce was concerned  that not many people were aware of the disease ALS, even though the golf community was exposed to ALS when Bruce Allen, caddy for many golf pros including Tom Watson passed away from ALS.

    Scott offered to golf from sunrise to sunset in honour of Bruce and his freind Terry Donaldson who also was living with ALS in the Comox Valley.
