More than 4,500 dogs, cats and other animals receive life-saving shelter, food and veterinary care each year from the Regina Humane Society. Their major fundraiser is an annual golf tournament. Brian Albert, a sales rep at Sutton Group – Results Realty, volunteered to take the lead on organizing this tournament in 2011 and has raised approximately $17,000 each year. He expects that it will be a similar amount this year, bringing the three-year fundraising total to more than $45,000.
“Our animals are like family to many of us,” he says. “It pains me to see dogs and cats suffering and without homes. Also, there is overcrowding so the Humane Society wants to expand. They need help and this is one way to make a real difference.”
