The Ride to Conquer Cancer – August 25-26, 2019

For the last decade, The Ride to Conquer Cancer has been a rallying cry for those who know that cancer is no match against our conviction to conquer it. This rallying cry—Be The Ride—encompasses all that it means to take on this cycling journey and fundraising crusade. The courage, boldness, pride, determination and generosity of our Ridership have helped to raise millions in support of BC Cancer Foundation.

Our partner, Rory Morgan, accepted the challenge to ride the 200 kilometer journey to support others in their battle with cancer. On August 25 and 26, Rory raised over $5,000 and rode at total of 225 kms to support cancer research in BC.


Movies Under The Stars – August 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 2019

Experience cinema under a starlit sky while surrounded by family and friends.

Take in a free flick on a 3-storey high big screen every Saturday for the month of August. The movies start at dusk at Holland Park (13428 Old Yale Road). Arrive early to find a good spot and enjoy the pre-show entertainment. We hope to see you there.


2017 Harry Rosen Tournament For Life – June 11, 2018

For the past 21 years, VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation has been honoured to organize the Tournament for Life charity golf event – raising over $3.4 million to advance prostate cancer research and care. This premier tournament at Point Grey Golf & Country Club guarantees to deliver a day of exceptional hospitality, gourmet food, an exciting live auction, and of course, outstanding golf.

Hamilton Duncan is proud to sponsor and attend this year’s tournament.


Surrey Board of Trade Annual Fun in the Sun Golf Tournament – June 10, 2019

Hamilton Duncan is pleased to participate in and sponsor this year’s event.

Different from other golf tournaments, the purpose of the event was to create synergy and form business relationships on the golf course. Through the creation of teams of different companies – 4 business people per team – they are able to spend the day on the golf course and network with one another.


Kwantlan Polytechnic University Golf Tournament – May 16, 2019

We are happy to announce our sponsorship and participation in the 9th Annual KPU Foundation Golf Tournament that assists students in financial need as 100% of the net proceeds from the golf tournament support student bursaries. Last year’s tournament raised $56,000. The KPU Foundation Golf Tournament has raised over $400,000 since its inception, and we are happy to be a part of such a successful event.

 


Scotia Bank Bowl For Big Brothers Classic – April 26, 2019

The Bowl for Big Brothers Classic is Big Brothers’ signature FUN-raising event, where thousands of people get together to enjoy a night of bowling in support of the valuable mentoring programs provided for over 1,000 children each year free of charge.

Hamilton Duncan is proud to have three teams play this year and hope to raise over $1,000 for this great initiative.
