The Patron Group
The Rogers Charity Classic is backed by a philanthropic group of Calgary business leaders known as “The Patron Group.” In 2012, the late Clay Riddell brought community leaders together, including: Jim Riddell, Keith MacPhail, Guy Turcotte, Gary Peddle, Mike Culbert, Brad Shaw and PGA Tour Professional, Stephen Ames. Together they created the Rogers Charity Classic (formerly the Shaw Charity Classic) – the PGA TOUR Champions’ only Canadian event.
Thanks to the leadership of the entire Patron Group, along with the unwavering commitment of Albertans who show up to support the more than 290 charitable groups, the Rogers Charity Classic has now raised more than $137 million for children in need.
