Five years of fundraising
Building Bridges Community Golf Day
The Community Golf Day was founded in 2018 by Dr. Bajwa and Dr. Dhami. From 2018 to 2024, the Bajwa Dhami Building Bridges Community Golf Day raised funds for UFV’s South Asian Studies Institute (SASI) Research Fellowship Endowment. The tournament is on hiatus as of 2025.
The funds are used to support research on important areas of concern for our communities in the Fraser Valley. Visit the South Asian Research Fellowship Program to learn more.

Behind the Bajwa Dhami Building Bridges Community Golf Day
Our annual Community Golf Day was founded in 2018 by Dr. Bajwa and Dr. Dhami.
The Bajwa Dhami Building Bridges Community Golf Day supports UFV’s South Asian Studies Institute (SASI) Research Fellowship Endowment, which funds scholarly research aimed at answering questions and tackling societal issues that matter in the Fraser Valley and beyond. The research SASI undertakes responds to and provides practical solutions for local, provincial, and national community issues. The research also supports community-building across the region. Our goal is to move the research beyond paper into communities and find ways for people to be engaged in building stronger communities.
