On August 7, 2024, the Kristian Domingo Foundation proudly welcomed a sold-out field to the annual Strength in Hope Golf Tournament at the stunning Richmond Country Club — and what a day it was.

Fueled by passionate golfers, generous sponsors, and an incredible crew of dedicated volunteers, the tournament delivered more than great golf — it delivered impact.

Together, we raised critical funds for youth scholarships and made meaningful contributions to the BC Cancer Agency’s AYA Program (PROFYLE) and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice — organizations doing life-changing work for young patients and families navigating cancer. Supporting this mission isn’t just important to us — it’s personal.

From the first check-in at registration to the final stories shared at the evening banquet, the day was filled with sunshine, laughter, competition, and heartfelt connection. On-course contests sparked friendly rivalries, the dinner celebration brought the room together, and powerful moments of reflection reminded us why this tournament exists in the first place.

We gather to honour Kristian’s legacy.
We gather to strengthen hope.
And we gather to ensure that future generations feel the impact of a community that shows up — together.
