The University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Alberta (UPAAAC) will host its U.P. at Kaibigan Golf Tournament Fundraiser at the River’s Edge Golf Club in Okotoks on August 15, 2026 at 12:00 pm.
This tournament is the top fund raiser event of the UPAAA organization as it is a venue for sponsors to advertise their businesses or individuals to post positive messages. 100% of the proceeds from the golf tournament goes to the UPAAA Scholarship fund which was created to assist deserving and financially challenged U.P. students with their university expenses. We have also awarded $500 bursaries to three Calgary students to help with their post secondary expenses. Click here to see our scholars.
The tournament's play format is SCRAMBLE which is popular and fun for fund-raiser events because it allows players of all ages and skill levels to compete and contribute to their team's success. Most joiners enter as individual players and will be part of the FUN group stream. On the other hand, we allow a group of four players to enter as a team and will automatically be part of the COMPETITIVE stream. An additional $20 is required for each competitive stream player.
