Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 25th Annual Wayne Pruden Memorial Golf Tournament (WPMGT) Kick-off.  On behalf of BUH Foundation and the organizing committee of the WPMGT, Sue Pruden-McIvor, Chairperson of BUH Foundation extended her thanks and appreciation to Master Sponsor, Innovation Credit Union; Green Fee Sponsor, North Battleford Golf & Country Club and Banquet Sponsor, M&M Food Market.  These sponsors, along with all of our sponsors, golfers and donors have helped BUH Foundation & the WPMGT reach a significant milestone.

"The WPMGT speaks highly of the spirit of volunteerism that Wayne exemplified within his family and friends, businesses, and organizations in this community. Community support has allowed this Tournament to continue for 25 years and has helped to make it so successful," shared Pruden-McIvor.

Recognition was extended to Innovation Credit Union for their commitment to community and their volunteer spirit; to North Battleford Golf & Country Club for their support in hosting the Tournament and for their dedication to providing the best golf course for our community; and to M&M Food Market for their generosity and goodwill in helping to provide a great meal.

The continued support of Innovation Credit Union, North Battleford Golf & Country Club and M&M Food Market for 25 years impacts healthcare for our family, friends and neighbours in The Battlefords and surrounding area.  In the past 24 years, over $537,000 has been raised for enriched healthcare.


The 25th Annual WPMGT will take place on Monday, September 13th.  Funds raised will be supporting a new “Cuddle Bed” specifically designed for Palliative Care patients.  This bed has many end-of-life comfort features, one being that it can accommodate two people and allow family members to be close to their loved ones during a difficult time.

If you would like to participate in the Tournament and join us for a great day of golf, please call 306-446-6652.  Registration fee is $125/person.
