The Association would like to recognize the ALS Society of BC, Communications & Social Media Coordinator Navin Autar and Events & Support Coordinator Len Alabata for their presence at the Awards Celebration, where they shared the latest updates on the Golfathon for ALS. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of so many PGA of BC golf professionals, the Golfathon for ALS raised $233,009 in 2024, surpassing $3 million raised throughout the history of the initiative. These contributions directly help patients with ALS enjoy a better quality of life. We extend our gratitude to the ALS Society of BC for their partnership and to all participating professionals for their support of those living with ALS in BC and the Yukon.
