Canadian telecommunications company Shaw Communications has extended its title sponsorship of the Shaw Charity Classic golf tournament on the Champions Tour.
The renewal is for two years and covers the 2016 and 2017 editions of the tournament, which will continue to be played at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club in Calgary, Alberta.
Shaw Communications has been the main sponsor of the event since it launched in 2013.
Brad Shaw, chief executive of Shaw Communications, said: “The Shaw Charity Classic has been a tremendous success, both as a must-attend social event in Calgary, but most importantly as platform to support fantastic charitable organisations across Southern Alberta. As we head into our third year, we are proud to be extending our partnership with the Shaw Charity Classic and to continue working with our Champions Tour and Patron Group partners to support the well-being of children and youth in our community.”
