Adam organized a golf tournament in memory of his best friend, which raises money to help disadvantaged kids across Manitoba – the Travis Price Classic Charity Golf Tournament. The proceeds from the first five years of the TPC were donated to the Manitoba Chapter of Variety International Children’s Charity. In the first five years the event donated over $1.1 million, all going towards rebuilding a camp for disadvantaged children of all types – Camp Brereton. The TPC mandate is to direct 100% of the donatable funds to enriching children’s lives, which for Camp Breton resulted in increasing camp capacity by 65%, doubling the length of the camping season and making infrastructure improvements so that the camp would be safe for all kids and fully accessible. In 2015 the TPC started a new five year project with the Winnipeg Jets True North Foundation and Camp Manitou. This new camp focuses on creating experiences that help inner city kids gain confidence to meet the challenges of life at home. The result of the 6th TPC and 1st year with Camp Manitou resulted in a donation of $259,000 towards camp improvements and funding for new programming.
