[ 01 ] The calendar

Four ways to show up for our students

Date to be announced

Charity Golf Tournament

Our flagship fundraiser, and the one our co-founder has run before. Craig Ellis founded the South Eastern Alberta CFL Alumni Golf Tournament in 1998 — it has since raised almost a million dollars and is still that United Way chapter's biggest fundraiser of the year.

Alumni In Action ran its own first annual tournament at Encino Golf Club, hosted by Polytechnic High School alumni. Craig's network across the NFL and CFL supports it through donations, merchandise, and participation.

Sponsorship and foursome enquiries are open now.

Parent Seminars

We will be conducting seminars for parents to get them more involved in their student's college preparation and future — covering applications, academic eligibility, and how to plan the years between 14 and 17 deliberately.

Turkey Distribution

AIA plans to distribute donated turkeys to families of under-privileged students in the Los Angeles area — support that reaches the whole household, not only the student on the roster.

Fundraisers & Scholarships

Part of the plan for AIA is to promote fundraisers, provide scholarships, and receive donations from prominent businesses and organizations. New fundraisers are posted here as they are scheduled.
