2024 GREAT OUTDOORS COMMUNITY FUND PARTNER – HALIFAX

With their mandate of Enhancing Lives for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities, the Canadian Progress Club Halifax, is a group of 40+ business professionals who volunteer their time, talents, and influence to generate much needed funds for deserving local charities. For over 50 years, the Club has raised money through the execution of marquee events, most notably the Desjardins Sports Charity Dinner, which recently celebrated its 51st annual event. More recently, the Club introduced CRAVE – a Food & Drink Experience, one of the most popular tickets in the annual Halifax events landscape. Progress Club are thrilled to be partnering with the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival, and the funds raised through ticket sales and proceeds from our onsite 50/50 will go to support the 7-week summer camp program for people with disabilities, hosted by The Club Inclusion.
