This year's Air Canada Foundation golf tournament raised over $1,000,000 in support of organizations focused on the health and wellbeing of children in Canada.

Now in its third year, the tournament was held Monday, 11 August 2014, at the Saint Raphal Golf Club in Qubec.

The event featured 73 teams totaling 292 golfers from across North America. It included a full day of golf followed by dinner and silent and live auctions of items donated by tournament partners.

Aimia was the presenting sponsor of this year's event which was supported by more than 115 Canadian and international corporations and organizations.

"With the unwavering support of Air Canada's friends, partners and employees, the Foundation's signature fundraising event has exceeded its million dollar target in just three years," said Priscille LeBlanc, Air Canada's Vice President, Corporate Communications and Chair of the Air Canada Foundation. "The funds raised will increase the Foundation's ability to make a difference in the lives of thousands of children across Canada through financial and travel assistance to children's hospitals, charitable organizations and causes focused on helping children in need. On behalf of all the people whose lives are touched by the Air Canada Foundation, I extend a heartfelt thank you to our loyal sponsors, participants and volunteers for their on-going enthusiasm and generosity."

As a registered not-for-profit organization, the Air Canada Foundation's mission is to help connect sick children to the medical care they need, grant children's wishes and alleviate child poverty.

The Foundation also actively participates in humanitarian activity following natural disasters around the world.
