Who we are

Funding the fight against child trafficking, one tournament at a time.

Driving For Change isn't a charity — we're a small team that puts on one annual golf tournament and routes every dollar raised to registered Canadian charities working against child trafficking.

Since 2023, that's $312,000 raised for prevention, rescue, and recovery programs. The venue changes. The partners change. The mission doesn't.

FAQ

Quick answers.

The stuff people actually ask — how registration works, where the money goes, and whether you need to be a scratch golfer (you don't). Still curious? Get in touch.

How do I register to play?

+
Register an individual spot ($350) or a full foursome ($1,400) through our online form. Payment is via Interac e-Transfer — you'll get full instructions and a reference code after registration.

What's included in registration?

+
18 championship holes, cart, range access, on-course contests, tournament swag, plated dinner, and entry to the live & silent auction — plus a chance at the Caribbean vacation draw for everyone paid in full by August 1.

Is Driving For Change a registered charity?

+
No — and we're upfront about it. DFC is a community fundraiser. We put on the tournament and route every net dollar to our 2026 charity recipients, BridgeNorth and Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women (EHCW). Tax receipts for eligible portions are issued by our charity partners, not by DFC. See the registration page for details.

Where does the money actually go?

+
100% of net proceeds go to BridgeNorth and Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women (EHCW). We publish an impact report every spring showing dollars in, dollars deployed, and programs funded.

Can my business become a sponsor?

+
Yes. Tiers run from $500 Hole Sponsorship to $6,500 Title Sponsorship — each with logo placement across event materials, team spots on the course, and brand visibility at the dinner. See the full breakdown.

I don't golf — can I still come?

+
Yes. A dinner-only ticket is $150 and includes the plated dinner, the keynote, and the live & silent auctions. Plenty of non-golfers come every year.

How do I volunteer?

+
We have planning-committee roles year-round and tournament-day roles on September 24. Fill out the volunteer form and the team will reach out with where you fit.
