The Canadian Progress Club – Halifax is part of a national volunteer organization whose mandate is to give back to their corresponding community. This usually takes the form of raising money for several charities including the Kings Meadow Home, The Progress Centre for Early Intervention, Special Olympics Canada through events such as the Sports Celebrity Dinner, Big Spring Auction and Pro/Am Golf Tournament. While these events continue to be very successful, the Canadian Progress Club – Halifax has embarked on a new endeavor by adding an annual rock concert benefit/fundraiser to meet the growing needs of their charities.
