About Us

Our History

Golf for Kids started out in 1997 with a desire to raise money to help one little girl who needed a hand. The tournament raised over $14,000 that year and through the unrelenting commitment of organizers, sponsors, donors, golfers, partners, and volunteers, Golf for Kids has grown to become one of BC’s premier fundraising events each year.

The 2023 Golf for Kids Charity Classic marked our 25th year raising money and awareness for BC kids in need and their families.

“For the last decade I have had the pleasure of emceeing the annual Golf for Kids Charity Golf Classic tournament, banquet and live auction at Bear Mountain Golf & Tennis Resort Community. This event is in a league of its own, growing from a small, grassroots event to a multi-million dollar fundraiser in support of the Help Fill A Dream Foundation and countless other Vancouver Island based children’s charities.

Dale Douglas and Murray Stewart started out with the sole purpose of raising a few dollars for a local young person who was struggling with health issues, never knowing that not that many years later it would grow to become the premier fundraising event on Vancouver Island. Each year Golf for Kids has presented my wife Bev and me with the opportunity to help direct funds to worthy causes in our community. What an honour it is that they trust our judgement, and because of this we have done our very best to distribute much needed funds throughout Vancouver Island.

I am happy and proud to call Dale and Murray my friends and I am completely committed to being a part of Golf for Kids, in any way I can, each and every year.“
