Medicine Hat golf tournament raises $40,725 for cancer patients
Trish and Josh Helman presented the funds to the Medicine Hat Health Foundation, capping the third year of their Chip In Against Cancer Golf Classic.
Why it matters
The funds provide direct financial help to Medicine Hat cancer patients navigating treatment costs.
A Medicine Hat couple, Trish and Josh Helman, has donated $40,725.08 to the Medicine Hat Health Foundation's Cancer Patient Financial Assistance Program, raised through the third annual Chip In Against Cancer Golf Classic. The couple, along with their children, presented the cheque at the Margery E. Yuill Cancer Centre.
The tournament brought together golfers, sponsors and community supporters to fundraise for the program, which helps local cancer patients facing financial challenges during treatment. Trish Helman said the family is grateful for continued and new supporters and proud of the tournament's growth over three years.
Josh Helman was diagnosed with Large B-Cell Lymphoma in early 2023 and is currently in remission following treatment. The Medicine Hat Health Foundation thanked the Helmans and everyone who attended or sponsored the event, saying the funds help ensure patients feel community support during their cancer journey.
The Chip In Against Cancer Golf Classic raised $35,000 in 2025 and is scheduled to return to the Medicine Hat Golf and Country Club next year.
