A DAY THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE
On Friday, August 7, 2026, on the occasion of its 6th Annual Charity Golf Tournament, the Alexandre-Parks Foundation welcomed golfers, volunteers, sponsors and partners to the Memramcook Valley Golf Club.
Thanks to the generosity and commitment of our community, more than $60,200 was raised to support the Foundation’s mission: advancing local medical research and supporting young scientists pursuing doctoral studies.
With 37 teams and more than 50 volunteers, the tournament brought the community together for a day marked by friendship, generosity and, above all, a shared commitment to making a difference.
IN HONOR OF ALEXANDRE
More than a golf tournament, this day is a way to keep Alexandre’s memory alive and to carry forward what mattered deeply to him: research and hope.
Alexandre Parks was a passionate young scientist who had begun doctoral studies in life sciences at Université de Moncton. His curiosity, determination and commitment to research continue to inspire the Foundation and guide its work in support of the next generation of scientists.
Every year, this tournament reminds us that meaningful change can begin with simple gestures.
A round of golf.
A sponsorship.
A few hours of volunteering.
A donation.
Together, these gestures create opportunities for young scientists and help advance research.

This year’s scholarship was awarded to Noémie Gourdon, a doctoral student at Université de Moncton.
