New Hamburg, ON, September 23, 2024 – The Erb Group proudly concluded its 31st Annual Charity Golf Tournament last Thursday, showcasing its enduring spirit of community and commitment to local causes. Held at the scenic Rebel Creek Golf Club in Petersburg, Ontario, the event attracted 150 enthusiastic golfers, including a broad group of Erb’s suppliers, partners, employees, and representatives from supported charities, all united by a shared mission to drive change and empower those in need.
This year’s tournament raised an impressive $35,000, bringing the total contributions to an extraordinary $585,000 since its inception in 1994 and solidifying its legacy as a powerful force for driving positive change in the region. These funds will directly support local non-profit organizations such as the Wilmot Family Resource Centre, Interfaith Counselling Centre, and Tri-County Mennonite Homes – Aldaview Services, which provide essential services, including food security, mental health support and community-building programs to families in Wilmot.
The tournament continues to unite a broad coalition of participants year after year, driven by a shared commitment to uplifting those in need. Wendell Erb, CEO of The Erb Group, spoke proudly of the event’s growth, “To have reached a total of $585,000 in donations since the start of this tournament is a true testament to the power of our community and industry network. These funds directly impact local families, helping to build a stronger, healthier Wilmot.”
As The Erb Group celebrates its 65th anniversary this year, the company remains committed to supporting the community that has supported its growth. The Annual Charity Golf Tournament has become a cornerstone of this commitment, and the continued generosity of participants, sponsors, and partners ensures its lasting impact.
“Our roots are here in the community, and we’re proud to give back in meaningful ways,” Wendell Erb added. “The success of this tournament is a testament to the strong relationships we’ve built over the years, and we look forward to continuing this tradition for many more.”
In addition to the success of this year’s tournament, The Erb Group’s philanthropic efforts were recognized earlier this year when they were awarded the 2024 Purpose Award by the Transportation Marketing and Sales Association (TMSA).
This award honours companies that go above and beyond to give back to their communities, highlighting the exceptional role The Erb Group plays in making a difference beyond the transportation industry.
