Thank you 2015 Sponsors

Dear Chiefs, Family and Friends, We are pleased to announce exciting plans for the 2016 Fundraiser Golf Tournament hosted by the Assembly of First Nations. The tournament, scheduled to take place Monday, July 11, 2016 at the Thundering Waters Golf Club in Niagara Falls, Ontario promises to be another fabulous success. Companies, businesses and individuals are invited to sponsor segments of the event in turn for great exposure. “Thundering Waters is John Daly’s first “Signature” golf course in Canada. The golf course features the high risk-reward style of John Daly to enhance the excitement for players of all skill level”. The attached tournament package includes event details, various sponsorship opportunities, registration form, and directions to the Thundering Waters Golf Club. We would like to thank you for considering the Assembly of First Nations for your sponsorship and hope to have you on board for this year’s exciting tournament. The Committee would like to acknowledge all of last year’s golfers, sponsors, and donors. Thank you for your continued support, you are making a difference and changing lives in the First Nation community! We look forward to seeing you on July 11th. Sincerely, Perry Bellegarde National Chief

ABOUT THE ASSEMBLY OF FIRST NATIONS The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is the national body representing First Nations governments and approximately 1.5 million people living on reserve and in urban and rural areas. The National Chief is elected every three years and receives direction from the Chiefs in Assembly. The AFN is dedicated to advancing the priorities and aspirations of First Nations through review, study, response and advocacy on a broad range of issues and policy matters. There are 634 First Nations in Canada with established governance systems, each led by a Chief who is entitled to be a member of the Assembly. The AFN National Executive is made up of the National Chief, 10 Regional Chiefs and the chairs of the Elders, Women’s and Youth councils. First Nations are part of more than 50 distinct nations with unique cultures and languages. First Nations have a unique and special relationship with the Crown and the people of Canada as set out in the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and manifested in Treaties, the Constitution Acts of 1867 and 1982, Canadian common law and International law, and as outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
