The Priddis Greens Charity Classic is one of the most important fundraising endeavors for the Prostate Cancer Centre of Calgary, raising well over $8 million to date to support prostate cancer awareness, early detection, education, research and rapid access to pre and post-operative treatment. Because we rely on donors and sponsors for our revenue, we would not be able to provide our current services without this tournament. The level of treatment and care that we provide to over 10,000 patient visits a year through our six Rapid Access Clinics for men suspected or diagnosed with prostate cancer are the best in this country.
Early detection is vital to surviving prostate cancer. Calgary’s Prostate Cancer Centre has the only two mobile PSA testing vehicles in Canada - the ManVan™. The ManVan™ program has tested over 52,000 men, one vehicle services Calgary and the other, rural communities in Southern Alberta. We always bring the ManVan™ to the Priddis Greens Charity Classic for PSA testing on-site when restrictions permit. This serves as a thank you to all the Priddis Greens supporters.
The Prostate Cancer Centre’s success and growth would not have been possible without help from the many volunteers and organizers, the players, the generous sponsors and the Priddis Greens membership. We are committed to using your donations to fund the best prostate cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment options and start to finish care to improve the lives of patients and their families. Thank you for your encouragement and support.
We are confident that every day, every man in Southern Alberta who visits us will receive the best care and treatment available.
“There is no question – without the longstanding support of the Priddis Greens Charity Classic there would be no Prostate Cancer Centre today and families would not benefit from our services” states Dr. Donnelly. “Your support yesterday and today is shaping the future of the men in Southern Alberta.”
