2025 Golf Tournaments
WOOF, WOOF! I get to golf with my best friend?
September 12, 2025 | Edmonton Springs Golf Course
The original "Who Let The Dogs Golf?® Tournament" is BACK! YES...your "furry" friend gets to join you for 9 holes of golf! This tournament will be held on Friday, September 12th, at the Edmonton Springs Golf Course.
This unique event is guaranteed to have all tails a-wagging on the greens. Twosomes (1 dog) and foursomes (2 dogs) will have the opportunity to bring their furry pooch with them to take part in a 9-Hole Texas Scramble Tournament.
We have limited spots available - only 72 golfers and 36 dogs will have the chance to experience this barking good adventure!
All net proceeds raised at this tournament will go to support a local charity, "Dogs With Wings" Assistance Dog Society. They breed, raise, train, place, and support Service Dogs for individuals with mobility challenges and PTSD or trauma-related concerns. They also provide Companion, Therapy, and Facility Dogs, each offering critical emotional support. Facility Dogs work in courtrooms, police stations, and advocacy centres, comforting thousands affected by crime and abuse. Therapy Dogs support group settings, such as schools and hospitals, while Companion Dogs offer comfort at home. Our vision is to transform lives, one moment at a time, and advance the Service Dog sector. Our mission is to empower individuals through highly trained Service Dogs and a supportive community focused on transformative impact.

Kevin Karius Celebrity Golf Classic in support of Easter Seals Alberta
July 9, 2025 | Belvedere Golf & Country Club
On Wednesday, July 9th, golfers had the exclusive opportunity to hit the greens with celebrities from the Edmonton Oilers/Alumni, Edmonton Elks/Alumni, and other sports/media personalities at the prestigious Belvedere Golf and Country Club. This sold-out event raised $164,000, which was the highest in the 30-year history of the event.
The resounding success was because of the strong community support of our partners, golfers, celebrities, and volunteers, which are noted below. We also want to provide a BIG shout-out to Ja-Co Welding & Consulting for their very generous donation of $50,000 towards the "Elbows Up" painted by local artist, Shauna Madsen, Forever In Art.
We believe what sets the Kevin Karius Celebrity Golf Classic, presented by Prism Flow Products, apart is the unique opportunity for golfers to play alongside our group of esteemed celebrities on a private course. This not only adds a touch of excitement to the event but also provides a very unique networking opportunity for all those involved while supporting a local charity, Easter Seals Alberta (https://easterseals.ab.ca/).
Easter Seals Alberta continued to be our 2025 charity of choice, a charity close to both of our hearts. Easter Seals Alberta’s mission is to provide services that foster inclusion, independence and recreation for individuals with disabilities and medical conditions. They achieve this through their main programs; Easter Seals McQueen Home, Easter Seals Family Resource Center, and Easter Seals Camp Horizon.

Testimonials
“I have worked with Darla Zuk for the past 17 years on the Kevin Karius Celebrity Golf Classic. The tournament has become one of the top golf tournaments in Edmonton. The main reason for this is the extreme hard work Darla puts in organizing the tournament. No detail is overlooked. In fact, it is her attention to detail that makes the tournament run so smoothly. Darla’s ability to pull things together, from taking care of our valued sponsors, to something that seems as small as lunch for the volunteers, does not go unnoticed. We have many golfers that play in a lot of charity tournament. They all say the Easter Seals Celebrity Golf Classic is one o the best run tournaments they play in. A big reason why, is the hard work and dedication of Darla Zuk."

"What a great pleasure it’s been to work with Darla on the Mental Health Golf Classic! As chair of the event in 2024 and again this year, 2025, I truly appreciated her deep knowledge of what goes into making a golf tournament run smoothly and professionally. Every aspect of her work – her thoroughness, her attention to detail, and her positive attitude that there’s no challenge that can’t be overcome – made our event the resounding success it was. Kudos to Darla and Prestige Event Planning!"
