We are honoured to announce that Wawanesa Insurance has confirmed its Platinum Sponsorship of the Sherre Newell Memorial Tournament.

This support is especially meaningful. At the time of her passing, Sherre served as Wawanesa’s Vice President, Alberta Region, and spent the final three years of her remarkable career with the organization. Sherre’s connection to Wawanesa began much earlier as well—she started her career there as an underwriter in the late 1970s—making this sponsorship a fitting tribute to a relationship that truly came full circle.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Savy Nhanh, FCIP, CRM, who worked closely with Sherre and kindly shared photos from Sherre’s time at Wawanesa.

If you had the privilege of working with Sherre—through Wawanesa or as a broker partner—we welcome you to share your memories with our tournament team. Sherre made a lasting impact on so many, and those stories help keep her legacy at the heart of this event.

Thank you, Wawanesa Insurance, for your continued support. We look forward to seeing everyone at the tournament on June 4 as we come together to honour Sherre’s legacy.
