Our Make-A-Wish Partnership

Every summer, the RVDA’s Annual Dan Merkowsky Golf Classic blends friendly competition with community impact.

Our community has shown incredible generosity, helping us raise enough to fund 3 full wishes for children in Alberta through Make-A-Wish® Canada. This achievement reflects our incredible community spirit.

$30,000

Raised

Full Wish Granted

Coming to the 2026 RVDA’s Annual Dan Merkowsky Golf Classic are Isaac and Michael, two of our Make-A-Wish® Canada Heroes.

At just eight years old, Isaac was diagnosed with Wilms’ tumour, a form of kidney cancer, and underwent surgery followed by 27 weeks of chemotherapy. Now in remission, Isaac is back to enjoying the things he loves, including baseball, video games, and time with his family. His wish to visit his favourite theme park gave his whole family a chance to celebrate, reconnect, and make joyful memories together.

Diagnosed with cancer at just five years old, Michael faced treatment with remarkable courage and joy. A bright and curious kid who loves soccer, camping, LEGO, and drawing, Michael dreamed of a tropical family vacation. When that wish came true, it brought more than a trip. It brought healing, renewed strength, and unforgettable memories for Michael and his family.

We’re proud and honoured to be welcoming Isaac and Michael to the 2026 RVDA’s Annual Dan Merkowsky Golf Classic. This is Isaac’s third year showing up and helping us, and Michael’s first appearance.
