Vernon Golf Pro Expands Teach-a-Thon for Mental Health

Vernon native and Abbotsford golf pro Brady Stead is expanding his Teach-a-thon for Mental Health into a provincewide initiative. Inspired by personal losses due to suicide, Stead launched the fundraiser in 2023, donating 100% of golf lesson fees and donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). The 2025 program allows PGA of BC professionals across British Columbia to host their own events between Aug. 22 and Sept. 30, with all proceeds staying in local communities to support mental health programs.
