8760 joined the 32nd Annual Spirit of Caring Golf Classic in Edmonton in support of its client, The Good Samaritan Society, as the organization raises funds for a new continuing care home in West Edmonton.


The tournament supports work that will directly affect care in Alberta. The new West Village continuing care home, now under construction in Edmonton, is planned to provide comfortable living for nearly 1,800 residents.

The Edmonton tournament will support West Village for the next two years


The Northern Alberta Spirit of Caring Golf Tournament will support the West Village continuing care home for the next two years.


That focus gives the event a clear purpose. Funds raised through the tournament help support a project designed around resident comfort, care, and quality of life.


Continuing care homes play a vital role in Alberta communities. They support people who need daily care in a safe, stable setting. They also support families, care teams, and local service networks.


For the Edmonton business community, events like this show how corporate support can help move community projects forward. Sponsorships, donations, volunteer hours, and long-term partnerships all matter.


The Spirit of Caring tournaments have raised more than $3 million since 1992


The Good Samaritan Society has hosted Spirit of Caring Golf Tournaments in Lethbridge and Edmonton since 1992.


Over that time, golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and friends of the organization have helped raise more than $3 million. Those funds have supported resident-centred care, key equipment, and programs that improve quality of life for thousands of Albertans.


The annual golf events bring together people who share a practical goal. They help care providers invest in the spaces, tools, and programs that residents use every day.


That steady record matters. Community care needs consistent support, not one-time attention. The Spirit of Caring tournaments have built that support over more than three decades.


8760 continues to support Good Samaritan as a long-term partner


The Good Samaritan Society provides continuing care, assisted living, and related services across Western Canada. Its teams focus on care, comfort, and dignity for residents.


The relationship between Good Samaritan and 8760 Expense Management is built on practical support. Good Samaritan focuses on residents and care delivery. The 8760 team helps manage energy utilities with attention to cost control and professional oversight.

For care organizations, operating costs matter. Every dollar saved or better managed can help protect resources for people, programs, and facilities. That is one reason careful utility management has value in the care sector.


At the tournament, the company’s role went beyond business service. It joined other supporters in helping raise awareness and funds for a major Edmonton care project.


“8760 happily supported the Spirit of Caring Golf Classic put on by The Good Samaritan Society. The team at Good Samaritan works hard to provide exceptional care and comfort to their residents, and 8760 ensures their energy utilities are professionally managed, keeping costs under control. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the day a success!” — Jesse Kruper

Volunteers and sponsors helped make the event possible


The Spirit of Caring Golf Classic depends on many contributors. Golfers take part. Sponsors give financial support. Volunteers handle the details that make the day work.


That mix is what gives the tournament its strength. A successful event does not happen through one group alone.


This year’s Edmonton tournament brought together people from care, business, and the broader community. Each contribution supported the same goal: helping The Good Samaritan Society raise funds for resident care and the new West Village home.


Volunteer support also carries its own value. Events like this require time, planning, and coordination. Behind every tournament are people setting up, welcoming guests, managing activities, and keeping the day on schedule.


Their work helps turn a golf event into a fundraiser with real community impact.


The project reflects a growing need for care in Edmonton


The West Village continuing care home is a major project for Edmonton. With room planned for nearly 1,800 residents, it is designed to serve a large number of people who need daily support.


The tournament’s two-year commitment to the project gives donors and participants a clear line of sight. Support raised through the Northern Alberta event will help advance a specific home, in a specific community, for people with real care needs.


That clarity matters for sponsors and business partners. It shows where support is going. It also helps connect a community event to a long-term result.


For Alberta business leaders, the lesson is direct. Community support works best when it has focus, trusted partners, and a cause that affects people close to home.


A shared commitment to community care


The Spirit of Caring Golf Classic continues to show what steady community support can do.


Since 1992, the tournaments in Lethbridge and Edmonton have raised funds for care equipment, resident programs, and improved quality of life. The next chapter in Northern Alberta will focus on West Village in Edmonton.


8760 is proud to participate in community-driven events that provide direct support to people. The company also recognizes the volunteers, participants, sponsors, and long-term partners at The Good Samaritan Society who continue to make the event possible.
