Farewell at the 19th Hole: Celebrating the final PGI for Literacy

The 2022 PGI season is here, and we are thrilled to be part of it! This year’s event, Farewell at the 19th Hole: Celebrating the final PGI for Literacy, will take place on Thursday, September 8th, fittingly on International Literacy Day.

Hosted at Trolley 5 Restaurant & Brewery, the evening will include some of the best beer Calgary has to offer, delicious appetizers, live entertainment and a chance to practice your golf swing! As always, the event will include an exciting raffle with the chance to win amazing prizes.

As the Alberta PGI partner, we remain committed to raising awareness about literacy and helping to support literacy programs throughout Calgary. 100% of the funds raised at this event stay local and support our work to make Calgary a vibrant city of lifelong learners. Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink will be matching all our funds raised up to 50% until August 31st, so make sure to get your tickets now!
