The Sobeys Inc. Better Food Fund has a simple message. Eat better. Feel better. Do better. Words to live by, to be sure. Launched in October 2014, the fund supports access to-and the advancement of-better food through donations and partnerships with Canadian charities. More than 900 communities have been supported through the fund. Its biggest initiative in our fair city was the recent Sobeys Better Food Fund Charity Golf Classic held at Priddis Greens.
Invaluable organizations the likes of Free the Children Home Cook Heroes and Special Olympics, to name but two, benefited from the success of the must-attend tournament.
Kudos to all who supported the event and good on you sentiments go out to: platinum sponsors Coca-Cola Refreshments, Kraft Heinz and Kruger Products; emerald sponsors Air Miles, Cyba Stevens, Unilever and Westrow Food Group; diamond sponsors Agropur Dairy Cooperative, Kellogg’s and Maple Leaf; media sponsor Postmedia; and myriad gold, silver and bronze sponsors.
