OAKVILLE, ON — Air Canada and Air Canada Vacations have been announced as the title sponsors of this year’s YellowBird Charity Golf Classic.

The always popular annual charity golf tournament will take place on May 17, 2024 at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, ON, with an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start. Now in its 24th year, the event will be raising funds in support of those impacted by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, as well as those fighting poverty in tourist destinations.

Said Cassandra Jackson, President of Reps4Rent, the event’s designated planner: “We are very excited to be able to be a part of the planning for the YellowBird Tournament again this year. With last year’s tournament being a tremendous success, we’re looking to raise even more this year and are ecstatic that Air Canada and Air Canada Vacations will be our joint title sponsors.”

Lisa Pierce, Vice President, Air Canada Global Sales & Air Canada Vacations, added: “This is an event that we are very excited to sponsor as our shared values perfectly align with The YellowBird Foundation in helping children and fighting poverty. This, too, is the focus of Air Canada’s own community programs on improving the lives of ill and disadvantaged children in the communities in which we work and live, so we applaud The YellowBird Foundation’s determination in their support and are looking forward to having a joint sponsorship with Air Canada Vacations this year to help with this important work.”

Speaking for Air Canada Vacations, Vice President Nino Montagnese said: “Supporting our communities both here and abroad remains a priority for Air Canada Vacations, and we are proud to partner with The YellowBird Foundation to advance their mission of helping to improve the lives of those living in disadvantaged communities in tourist destinations across the globe. As guests in these countries, we have an obligation to give back and share our commitment to global citizenship.”

In addition to the tournament, this year’s event will include a sit-down lunch, an online auction, an in-person 50/50 draw as well as a gift basket raffle. Those unable to attend the tournament are encouraged to donate a raffle prize/gift basket or auction items, or make a donation to support the cause.
