Sponsor a Player
Every Hole. Every Hour. Every Dollar Makes a Difference.
Not everyone can spend part of 24 hours on the golf course—but everyone can be part of the journey.
Our golfers are taking on an extraordinary challenge: teams playing continuously for 24 hours to raise funds for HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre, Food4Kids Waterloo Region, and Dancing with Parkinson's.
By sponsoring a player, you're cheering them on while helping provide essential programs and services for people in our community.
How It Works
Support your favourite golfer by making a pledge:
Sponsor a player – $10, $25, $75 or any amount.
Challenge Your Friends – Encourage others to match your donation or sponsor another player.
Every donation, large or small, helps change lives.
Donate. Encourage. Make an Impact.
