Dr. Scott Rairdan was a friend to many in the Charolais industry
and the Canadian and International cattle business. He was a breeder,
director, business partner and a family man. He swept in the lives
of many with a broad smile, the latest agricultural technologies
and a relentless enviable energy. Scott was dedicated to the causes
he believed in and was known for his vision and impassioned ideas.
To Scott, nothing was impossible and he concurred the most defiable
of projects and challenges. His gregarious personality and immeasurable
enthusiasm was contagious to those around him - as was his crazy
sense of humour and positive attitude.
The Scott Rairdan Foundation was established in tribute to Scott's
high standards and values. It will live in perpetuity, always inspiring
and always helping others. To assist with the administration of
this memorial foundation, the coordinating group has contracted
the services of The Calgary Foundation - a highly respected non-profit
organization that will professionally manage the donations and investments.
Income from the fund will be distributed to various charitable organizations
as directed by the Scott Rairdan Foundation Committee.
The Foundation plans to offer an increasing number of scholarships
and bursaries to selected individuals who are enrolled in any post-secondary
institution and studying something related to agriculture. Selection
will be based on aptitude, background, sense of humour, community
background and financial need.

Charity Golf Classic
The Scott Rairdan Foundation Charity Golf Classic was started as
a fundraiser in 1998. The response was so enthusiastic that it has
become an annual event. Business people, cattle breeders, veterinarians
and friends from all across Canada have joined each year for a great
day of fun and fellowship while raising money for a very worthy
cause. It has become one of the "Not to Miss"
events each summer.
