Hunger in Moose Jaw is an organization dedicated to supporting children and their families through educational and nutritional programming. Their programs feed and support hundreds of children in the city.

“This will be our second annual charity golf tournament since we started the Great Plains Power Station,” Jami-Lee Cuthbert, B&M site office manager, said in an email. “Like last year, we picked five potential charities who we haven’t had the chance to work with yet and put out a survey in the Burns & McDonnell office.”
Employees had the chance to tour Hunger in Moose Jaw’s offices and learn about their programs, Cuthbert said, and everyone is very happy with the choice.
“We are very pleased with the response as sponsorships, prize donations, and team signups have been coming in great. We expect to have a full tournament this year and we have the majority of our hole sponsors filled already.
“That said, we can always find room for more!”
“This is just amazing; it’s awesome and we are very excited. I had no idea the tournament was going to raise that much money. They must have done a lot of work to get those great golf players out there,” Joe Dueck, director of Joe’s Place, said when the donation was presented.
If the tourney fills up this year, 130 golfers will take to the course with around 20 volunteers helping. The tournament is on a working Friday, but everyone not needed that day will be either golfing or volunteering.
“Hillcrest was absolutely wonderful to work with last year, so we are happy to be there once again,” Cuthbert said. “The Hillcrest team really goes above and beyond to make sure the day goes well.”
All proceeds will be donated directly to Hunger in Moose Jaw.
