The Air Canada Foundation (the Foundation) hosted its 10^th annual charity golf tournament this week and successfully raised $ 1,087,609 to support charitable organizations dedicated to the health and well-being of children and youth in Canada.

Held at the Saint-Raphaël Golf Club in Montreal, the event welcomed nearly 300 guests with the support of 100 sponsors and numerous Air Canada retirees and employee volunteers.

A special highlight of this annual tournament is the coveted lemonade stand, manned this year by Air Canada Foundation ambassadors Léa-Jade and Coralie, raising $10,000.

The Foundation also welcomed special guests Gregory Charles, one of Quebec's most talented artists who performed for the Foundation's guests, and three-time Olympic gold medallist in women's hockey, Marie-Philip Poulin.

The Air Canada Foundation also released its most recent impact report, covering efforts and initiatives throughout 2020 and 2021. Despite the challenges presented over the last two years brought on by the pandemic, the Foundation continued to innovate to provide support to Canadians in need, provided opportunities for employees to give back to their communities, and helped to facilitate donations and humanitarian relief during times of crisis.

The Air Canada Foundation is committed to giving back to children and communities through various programs and partnerships. Since 2012 it has:

• Donated more than $12 million in grants to Canadian-registered charities focused on the health and well-being of children.
• Donated more than 11,000 airline tickets to charitable organizations to support fundraising activities or program development.
• Made possible more than 9,000 flights to make children's dreams come true.
