Golfers drive in $400,000 for Aga Khan Foundation

Last week, Edmonton golfers raised $400,000 at the annual Aga Khan Foundation Canada golf tournament to help reduce poverty and improve life in some of the world’s most difficult environments. Edmonton was one of eight communities across Canada to generate funds at golf tournaments and could hear how they had helped. At the tournament, Claudia Hudspeth, global head of health programmes for the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), praised a full slate of golfers at the Glendale Golf and Country Club for their efforts and said last year, through more than 340 health centres and 15 hospitals, AKF treated 5.3 million patients, including 224,000 admitted for in-patient care.
