Emerson Drive recently hosted the 2nd Annual Brad Mates/E-Drive Charity Golf Tournament in lead vocalist Brad Mates' hometown of Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada. This year's event, which partnered celebrities with golfers from all over Canada and the U.S., raised over 100 thousand dollars. All proceeds will be donated to the University of Alberta Hospital's Parkinson's research program. Raising money and awareness for Parkinson's research hits home for Mates. Brad shares, "My father has had Parkinson's for six years now. For him and others battling... ultimately we want to find a cure."
