The Dunne Golf Classic
Jack Dunne was a beloved motivator, mentor, educator, and during his last years: a warrior, who battled cancer and COPD, simultaneously.
Please join us for the fifth annual Dunne Golf Classic on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at Sirocco Golf Club in Foothills, Alberta. Let’s honour Jack, enjoy a great round of golf, and help raise money for Alberta Lung Breathing Space–a vital resource for the 77% of lung disease patients who live outside of Edmonton. This one of a kind facility will provide a home away from home for lung transplant patients.
We promise fun, laughter, and a chance to win fantastic prizes!
Tournament History
The first Dunne Golf Classic took place in 2021 celebrating the love of golf wth the friends and family of Jack Dunne. Jack had retired from golf due to COPD, but the Dunne family wanted to share joy, fun and laughter while enjoying the wonderful greens at the River’s Edge Golf Club.
The Dunne Golf Classic became a fundraiser for Alberta Lung Breathing Space in 2022. After the passing of Jack Dunne from COPD, the Dunne family wanted not only to remember his life and legacy as a beloved family member, friend and mentor, but also to raise funds for Breathing Space Recovery house. This home will be a sanctuary for lung transplant patients and their families in Edmonton.
In 2023, the Dunne Golf Classic continued the tradition ‘putting’ the fun into our fundraising golf tournament! We had a wonderful time with friends and family, while supporting Alberta Lung to build Breathing Space, a vital sanctuary for lung transplant patients. Three incredible hole-in-one prizes were donated by our amazing sponsors. And more fantastic prizes provided by sponsors of our silent auction. Our tournament includes a dinner and a 50/50 draw.

Fundraising for Alberta Lung Breathing Space
A fabulous and fun golf tournament to raise money for the Alberta Lung Breathing Space – a vital resource for the 77% of lung disease patients who live outside of Edmonton. These patients can’t afford the expenses of relocating and residing with a caregiver in a different city while they recover. Join us for amazing prizes, golf, people, dinner, a silent auction and a 50/50 draw!
