11th Annual Mark Spector Golf Classic

Golf and mix and mingle with 20 celebrities: athletes, coaches, media, business personalities and most importantly, help some kids who simply want the same sporting experiences we’ve all had in our lives.

Together we can open up the possibilities to those kids whose scope of opportunity isn’t as wide as it should be, and busying kids with sport, because we all know of the benefits.

Clare Drake used to remind us: “It’s amazing what can be accomplished when nobody cares who gets the credit.”

It has become Sport Central’s motto.

As the Mark Spector Golf Classic steps into its second decade, we thank every partner that has helped raise $1,297,000 in the first decade.

We’ve spent the last 32 years at Sport Central helping kids whose families are not be able to afford the costs of equipment, to get geared up and get into the game. But really, we represent the end of the process.

You are the beginning.

Your generosity in supporting The Spec Classic allows us the opportunity to live up to Drake’s slogan. Because without your support, there would be no “accomplishment” to “get the credit” for at all.

As we embark on the 11th Spec Classic, our tournament has grown alongside our partnerships with so many of you. To all of our incredible partners who support Sport Central so tirelessly; whose loyalty to the event and to the organization is truly amazing – Thank You!

We are back again at The Quarry Edmonton this summer – mark your calendars for Wednesday July 24, 2024. You can expect an awesome mix of sport celebrities from NHL, CFL, and more plus incredible treats on the course and throughout the day!

We’re all a product of our upbringing, and for us at Sport Central, that childhood was spent on the rinks, courts and fields of our various communities. Learning how to be a good teammate still makes for a better adult down the road, and the value for kids to play, make friends and learn the lessons that competition provides will never go away.

If you can help us by becoming a partner, contact Samantha Kelch at Sport Central (contact info on the left) or look me up on Twitter @SportsnetSpec.

Come out and help us give that opportunity to kids who might not otherwise get there.

And enjoy a great round of golf at the same time!
