Charity - Sherwood Park Rotary Annual Golf Classic

The Rotary Sherwood Park Charity Golf Classic has been supporting local charities in the community for the past 30 years.

A small group of local Rotarians started a golf tournament to raise funds for the Sherwood Park Rotary Club. Over the years, with the support of sponsors, participants and organizers, the tournament has successfully raised funds for local Rotary Club Projects. The Robin Hood Association played an integral part in the tournament for many years and continues to be a part of one of the supported Charities.

The Rotary Sherwood Park Charity Golf Classic 2022 raised $28,000.00, providing funds for 5 Local Charities. The tournament was equally successful in 2021, raising $25,000.00 and supporting 4 local Charities.

The Rotary Sherwood Park Charity Golf Classic would like to thank everyone that has played a role in the success of this well-known event in the Sherwood Park Community.

Sherwood Park Against Hunger

Since 2015, local community volunteers have gathered together at this intergenerational event to package meals for communities in need. The 60,000 meals packaged last year have all been distributed, so there is a need to hold this event again.
