Over the past 27 years, together, we have raised more than $11 million to support children and families across Vancouver Island. That impact was built one event, one bid, and one act of generosity at a time—through golf tournaments, banquet dinners, silent auctions, and countless moments of community connection. Along the way, we’ve shared more stories than we could ever tell, each one a reminder of what’s possible when people come together with heart.
We are asking one final time for your help.
With your donation we want to raise $100,000 to further invest in the lives of local children through a wide network of community-focused charities. These charities have counted on you to help make a difference for children facing physical, financial, and social challenges. From life-saving medical support and accessible sports programs to literacy and leadership development, your donation helps ensure every child has the chance to thrive.
You have helped shape a legacy.
A huge thank you to our Title Sponsor, the Mann Group, and to all of our other sponsors, donors, volunteers and charities who have stood with us year after year. Your generosity has helped shape a legacy we are incredibly proud of.
While this chapter is coming to a close, the tradition of giving continues. Golf For Kids will work with our longtime charity partner, Help Fill a Dream, to continue to make our annual Silent Auction fundraiser a success. Stay tuned for details about how you can support the 2026 Silent Auction that will run in September during Help Fill a Dream’s 40th anniversary event.
Thank you for believing in this cause, for standing with us through the years, and for being part of something truly special. We hope we can count on your continued commitment to making a difference in your community.

Message from our Title Sponsor!
Don Mann Excavating has been a supporter of Golf for Kids for many years. They are a local multi-generational company with longstanding roots in the Vancouver Island construction industry. Their ongoing Title Sponsorship means we were able to make this year’s event one to remember!
Trevor Mann, CEO, Mann GroupI continue to feel incredibly blessed to be part of an industry that leads with heart and believes in giving back, standing together, and lifting families when they need it most. Golf for Kids has always reflected that spirit, and as we turn the page to 2025, I’m once again reminded of the incredible impact we can make when we come together.
The 25th anniversary was a milestone none of us will forget. The energy, emotion, and generosity reminded me why this event matters so deeply. It’s not just about fundraising. It’s about showing families they are not alone. It’s about standing in the gap for kids who need our support and doing so with compassion, grace, and humility.
This year, our silent auction is going entirely online, which means we have an even greater opportunity to reach more people, raise more support, and make a more significant impact than ever before. But we can’t do it without you.
Whether donating an item, sharing the auction with your network, or placing a bid, your support matters. Your actions will help create real change for children and families facing some of life’s toughest challenges.
I ask you to join me in making Golf for Kids 2025 our most impactful year yet. Let’s show that the power of a caring community is still strong. Let’s unite once more to give hope, spark joy, and be part of something that makes a difference.
One act of generosity at a time, we are changing lives.
With heartfelt thanks,
– Trevor Mann, CEO, Mann Group
