{30th July 2014}
Last summer, we were overjoyed to cover the inaugural Mark Spector Golf Classic for Sport Central at The Quarry. All proceeds from the Charity event was donated to Sport Central, a Charity that “is dedicated to removing the barriers to sport for at-risk and underprivileged youth ages 3 to 17 across Alberta and Western Canada. We collect, refurbish, and distribute gently used sports equipment.”
The event was planned, coordinated and designed by the very brilliant Joanna of European Element Events.
The event started with registration and breakfast before the Celebrity auction started. Each team bid and paid for a Celebrity to be part of their team before they all headed for Tee off.

Sport Central and Mark Spector Golf Classic enjoyed a same-day slideshow during the dinner and auction part of the day and received the rest of the images within a few weeks of the event.
The images have been featured on their website since then. Thanks again to Sport Central for commissioning us for the 2014 event. You will be pleased to learn that registration is now open for the 2nd Annual Mark Spector Golf Classic on 29th July 2015!
