8760 was proud to sponsor the 34th Annual Tim Hortons Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament.

8760 attended the 34th Annual Tim Horton Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament at the Canmore Golf & Curling Club on 19 and 20 August, joining Tim Hortons leaders, franchise owners, clients, families, and community supporters for two days of golf in support of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

The tournament took place in Canmore, Alberta, with the Canadian Rockies providing the setting for one of the organization’s long-running charitable events. Nicole Kiefuik, Senior Director of Business Development, and Belinda Brandt, Director of Business Development, represented 8760 at the tournament.

The event raised funds for programs that support youth from low-income families. Through Tim Hortons Foundation Camps, participants can access multi-year leadership programs designed to help them build confidence, resilience, and practical life skills at no cost to their families.

The 34th Annual Tim Horton Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament brought together a wide group of supporters connected by a shared goal: helping young people access meaningful camp experiences and long-term leadership development.

For 8760, the tournament was both a sponsorship opportunity and a chance to spend time with valued Tim Hortons clients in a community-focused setting. The company hosted a hole during the event and took part in the two-day tournament alongside Tim Hortons leaders and local business representatives.

The tournament combined friendly competition with a clear charitable purpose. Attendees had the chance to connect outside day-to-day business settings while supporting programs that serve children and families across Canada.

The tournament supports Tim Hortons Foundation Camps

Funds raised through the Tim Horton Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament support Tim Hortons Foundation Camps. The foundation provides youth from low-income families with access to multi-year leadership programs at no cost to their families.

These programs are designed to support growth over time. Rather than a single camp experience, the model focuses on repeated development opportunities that help youth build skills they can carry forward.

The foundation’s work includes leadership training, personal development, and experiences that encourage young people to strengthen resilience, build relationships, and gain confidence. For many families, no-cost access is a key part of making these opportunities possible.

The Tim Horton Children’s Ranch, located in Alberta, is one of the foundation’s camp sites. Its connection to the province makes the Canmore tournament especially meaningful for many Alberta-based supporters, including local Tim Hortons restaurant owners and business partners.

For companies that work with local operators, events like this help reinforce the link between day-to-day business activity and long-term community contribution. The funds raised through the tournament support programs with a defined purpose and a clear audience.

A shared commitment to clients and community

8760 works with local Tim Hortons locations across Alberta through its Large Commercial Energy Program. The program helps commercial customers review electricity and natural gas costs, find possible savings, and make more informed choices about energy use.

For restaurant operators and franchise owners, utility costs are a regular part of running the business. They can also be difficult to read and manage without support. Bills often include several charges, and each location may have different usage patterns, contract terms, and seasonal needs.

The company’s work with Tim Hortons locations focuses on practical support. That includes reviewing energy bills, helping identify possible savings, and supporting purchasing decisions for commercial electricity and natural gas.

A portion of the savings identified through this work can help support local franchise initiatives and charitable contributions to the Tim Hortons Foundation. That connection made the golf tournament a natural fit for the company’s community involvement.

For business leaders, the model reflects a simple link between cost control and community giving. When operating expenses are managed carefully, organizations may have more room to support the causes and local programs that matter to their teams and customers.

Energy cost control remains a business priority

Commercial energy costs can affect margins, planning, and long-term budgets. This is especially true for businesses that operate multiple locations, run equipment throughout the day, or face changing usage through different seasons.

Restaurants, retail locations, warehouses, production sites, and large commercial spaces often have complex energy needs. Electricity and natural gas expenses can change based on market prices, delivery charges, usage patterns, and contract decisions. Even small improvements can matter when they are applied across several locations.

For CEOs and finance leaders, utility costs are part of a wider operating picture. They do not sit apart from staffing, rent, supply costs, maintenance, and customer service. Better energy cost management can support stronger budgeting and reduce avoidable waste.

8760’s business energy work is built around helping companies better understand what they pay, why they pay it, and where savings may be available. In plain terms, that can mean checking whether charges are correct, reviewing purchasing options, and looking for ways to lower usage without affecting daily operations.

The company’s services include Delivery Charge Reviews, Energy Efficiency Services, Commercial Electricity and Natural Gas Procurement & Commodity strategy, Free Expert Energy Audit (energy bill review), Utility Bill Management for Alberta business.

These services are especially relevant for organizations with tight budgets and multiple cost pressures. A bill review can give business leaders a clearer starting point before they make decisions about contracts, equipment, or site-level changes.

Why the golf tournament matters beyond the course

The Canmore tournament was built around golf, but its purpose extended beyond the course. It brought together business leaders, franchise owners, families, and supporters around the work of Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

Events like this create value in several ways:

• They raise funds for youth programs

  
  

The tournament supports access to leadership development for children and youth from low-income families.

• They connect local business communities

  
  

Participants can build relationships in a setting that is different from regular business meetings and day-to-day operations.

• They keep community investment visible

  
  

Charitable work can become more meaningful when clients, vendors, leaders, and families see the direct purpose behind the event.

• They strengthen long-term partnerships

  
  

Shared support for a cause can build trust between organizations that already work together in business.

For 8760, the event reflected an established relationship with Tim Hortons operators and a shared interest in supporting the foundation’s work. The company’s sponsorship was part of that broader connection.

Local partnerships can support larger impact

Many charitable events depend on support from a wide network of participants. That includes sponsors, volunteers, business owners, clients, employees, families, and long-time community supporters.

The 34th Annual Tim Horton Children’s Ranch Golf Tournament is one example of how local engagement can support a national charitable mission. While the event took place in Canmore, the funds raised support programs connected to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps and the youth they serve.

For businesses, participation in these events can be more than a single contribution. It can reflect how an organization chooses to work with clients and local communities over time.

8760’s relationship with Alberta Tim Hortons locations is tied to practical business support, but the impact can extend further when savings help support local initiatives and charitable giving. The tournament offered a clear example of that connection.

In a business setting, the value of community support is often measured through long-term trust. Franchise owners and operators face daily decisions about costs, service, staffing, and growth. Partners that understand those pressures can contribute in ways that are both practical and community-minded.

A successful two days in the Canadian Rockies

The tournament brought together great people, strong participation, and friendly competition in support of a clear goal. With the Alberta mountains as the backdrop, the two-day event gave attendees a chance to connect, support youth programming, and recognize the work being done through Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

8760 thanked Tim Hortons, tournament participants, clients, business owners, and families who helped make the event a success. The company also recognized the efforts behind the Tim Horton Children’s Ranch and the foundation’s ongoing commitment to providing meaningful experiences for children and families.

For businesses looking at their own operating costs, energy bills can be a practical place to start. A review can help identify savings opportunities and provide clearer information for future decisions.
