2026 Strength In Hope GolfTournament

Monday, July 27, 2026

On July 27, 2026, our Strength in Hope Golf Tournament brought together an incredible community united by a shared purpose: creating hope and opportunity for adolescents and young adults facing cancer.From the first tee-off to the evening celebration, the day was filled with generosity, meaningful conversations, and moments that reminded us why this community is so special.

To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, golfers, and everyone who played a role in making this event possible—thank you. Your commitment and compassion transformed a day of golf into an opportunity to make a lasting difference.

Strength in Hope 2026: A Day of Purpose, Connection, and Impact

On July 27, 2026, the Kristian Domingo Foundation proudly welcomed our community to the annual Strength in Hope Golf Tournament at the beautiful Richmond Country Club—and it was a day to remember.

With an incredible group of golfers, dedicated sponsors, generous supporters, and passionate volunteers, the tournament became much more than a day on the course. It was a celebration of community, a reflection of Kristian’s legacy, and a powerful step forward in creating meaningful support for adolescents and young adults facing cancer.

Together, we raised critical funds to support youth scholarships and helped advance our mission of bridging the gaps in care for young people navigating cancer. Through the generosity of this community, we are proud to have helped support the first steps toward BC Cancer’s Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Program—an important milestone that will provide greater connection, guidance, and support for young people throughout their cancer journey.

The evening reception was filled with inspiring stories and meaningful moments as we welcomed three incredible speakers who reminded us why this work matters. Our #11 Forever Scholarship recipient, Dami from the Surrey School Board, shared her story and the impact of opportunities that empower young people to pursue their dreams. Julia from Holy Cross High School spoke about the importance of community and the difference that support can make. We were also honoured to hear from Brad Wilkinson from the BC Cancer Foundation, who celebrated the incredible commitment of our supporters and shared that, after years of fundraising and advocacy, BC Cancer has begun the first steps toward bringing an AYA Program to life—made possible because of this community’s belief in the vision.

From the first check-in at registration to the final stories shared during our reception, the day was filled with connection, celebration, and gratitude. The friendly competition on the course, the conversations between supporters, and the heartfelt moments throughout the evening all reflected the true spirit of Strength in Hope.

We gather to honour Kristian’s legacy.
We gather to create meaningful change.
And we gather to ensure that adolescents and young adults facing cancer have the support, connection, and hope they deserve.

Thank you for showing up, standing beside us, and helping turn a vision into reality.

Strength in Hope 2026: A Community United by Purpose

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the 2026 Strength in Hope Golf Tournament was a truly unforgettable success. Together, we celebrated Kristian’s legacy, honoured the power of community, and reached a milestone years in the making.

On July 27, 2026, we welcomed our incredible community to Richmond Country Club for a day filled with connection, gratitude, and purpose. What began as a day of golf became something much greater—a celebration of the collective impact we can create when we come together behind a shared vision.

$250,000 Invested to Build a Future of Support

After years of fundraising, advocacy, and unwavering community support, we are incredibly proud to have invested $250,000 toward the launch of BC Cancer’s Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Program.

This milestone represents a significant step forward in our mission to help bridge the gaps experienced by adolescents and young adults navigating cancer. Through this investment, we are helping create a future where young people have access to dedicated guidance, connection, and support throughout their cancer journey.

This achievement belongs to every member of our community who believed in Kristian’s legacy and helped make this vision possible. Every sponsor, donor, golfer, volunteer, and supporter has played a role in transforming one family’s experience into meaningful change for young people across British Columbia.

140+ Golfers

An incredible group of golfers joined us at Richmond Country Club for a day filled with friendly competition, connection, and purpose. From the first tee-off to the final moments of our evening celebration, every participant helped create an atmosphere of generosity and hope.

80+ Sponsors, Donors & Community Partners

Our sponsors, donors, and community partners continue to be the foundation of Strength in Hope. Their generosity, leadership, and commitment helped make this milestone possible and allowed us to continue advancing our mission of supporting adolescents and young adults facing cancer.


An Evening Filled with Stories of Hope

Our evening reception was a meaningful celebration of community, resilience, and the impact we can create together. We were honoured to welcome three inspiring speakers who shared their stories and helped highlight the importance of the work we are doing.

A special thank you to our #11 Forever Scholarship Recipient, Dami from the Surrey School Board, for sharing her journey and reminding us of the importance of creating opportunities that empower young people to pursue their dreams.

Thank you to Julia from Holy Cross High School for sharing her reflections and highlighting the importance of connection, community, and support.

We were also grateful to welcome Brad Wilkinson from the BC Cancer Foundation, who celebrated the dedication of our supporters and shared an exciting milestone: after years of fundraising and commitment from our community, BC Cancer has begun the first steps toward developing its Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Program. This important advancement represents a future where young people facing cancer will have access to greater connection, guidance, and support throughout their journey.

2025 Strength In Hope GolfTournament

Wednesday August 13, 2025

The Strength in Hope Golf Tournament on August 7, 2024 was a powerful day driven by purpose, connection, and unwavering community spirit.

To our incredible sponsors, generous donors, dedicated volunteers, and every golfer who showed up with heart — thank you. Your support turned a beautiful day on the course into meaningful impact and made this year’s tournament truly unforgettable.

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.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the 2025 Strength in Hope Golf Tournament was a tremendous success. Together, we celebrated impact, legacy, and hope while achieving some incredible milestones.

$120,000+ Raised
These funds will help fuel youth scholarships, advance cancer research through the BC Cancer Foundation & ANEW’s AYA Program, and support pediatric palliative care at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.

140+ Golfers
An amazing turnout of golfers came together for a day of friendly competition, connection, and purpose — all united in the name of hope.

80+ Sponsors & In-Kind Donors
Our community of partners stepped up in a powerful way, helping make this impact possible through their generosity and support.

Thank You to Our 2025 Sponsors

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for their leadership, generosity, and commitment to our mission. Because of you, this year’s tournament was more than a successful event — it was meaningful, mission-driven impact that will continue to support youth and families in our community.

Thank You to Our Evening Speakers

A special thank you to our evening speakers who helped make Fairways, Friends & Forever 11 so memorable.

Your leadership, loyalty, and love for your friend continue to shine through in powerful ways.

Volunteers & Community Champions
To our incredible volunteers—thank you for your time, energy, and heart. You are the reason this tournament runs so smoothly, and we couldn’t do it without you.

Honouring Kristian Domingo’s Legacy
Every swing, every laugh, and every dollar raised continues our journey to supporting adolescent and young adults, building community, and bringing strength in hope.

You’ll experience an evening of heartfelt stories, inspiring moments, delicious food, laughter, and community connection. There will be awards, a silent auction, and memories made — all in support of young people and families navigating the unimaginable: cancer.

✨ This year is especially meaningful.
2025 marks 11 years since Kristian Domingo graduated from Vancouver College. Eleven years since a young man full of light, compassion, and courage began inspiring all of us to live with more heart and more purpose.

To honour this milestone, we’re doing something different. You can expect a few surprises — powerful tributes, new voices, and moments that will move you. We’re digging deeper, reaching further, and leaning into the message that has carried us every step of the way:

Strength in Hope.

Because when you gather with us, you’re not just attending an event — you’re becoming part of a movement. One rooted in love. One driven by purpose. One that promises to carry Kristian’s light forward, for generations to come.

This is why we play golf. This is why we gather. This is why we remember.
Because his spirit lives on in every swing, every story, and every life we touch.

 

11 Forever.

2024 Strength In Hope GolfTournament

Wednesday August 7, 2024

The Strength in Hope Golf Tournament on August 7, 2024, was an incredible day filled with community spirit and purpose. Thank you to our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants for making this event a resounding success and a day to remember!

On August 7, 2024, the Kristian Domingo Foundation proudly hosted the annual Strength in Hope Golf Tournament at the beautiful Richmond Country Club. With a sold-out roster of passionate golfers, generous sponsors, and an army of dedicated volunteers, this year’s event was one for the books.

Together, we raised critical funds in support of youth scholarships and donations to the BC Cancer Agency’s AYA Program (PROFYLE) and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. These organizations continue to do vital work in providing care, research, and hope for young patients and their families—a mission close to our hearts.

The day was filled with sunshine, community spirit, and a shared purpose. From morning registration to the on-course contests, followed by a lively dinner banquet and heartfelt stories, every moment reminded us why we gather: to honour the legacy of Kristian Domingo and keep hope alive for future generations.

The impact of this year’s tournament went far beyond the fairways. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we achieved some amazing milestones:

💰 Over $115,000 Raised
