Exclusive Sponsorship Opportunities Still Available!


So far we've had 50 amazing organizations sponsor this year’s Drive to Deliver Golf Tournament in support of Meals on Wheels.  From supplying us with a hot air balloon ride to proudly displaying your logo at one of our golf holes, we sincerely appreciate the support needed to make this year’s event a success.

We would like to raise a glass to ABA Architects, this year’s Wine Sponsor. They will be featured on our tabletop menu cards and more while our attendees enjoy dinner. The event’s Wine Sponsorship is an exclusive opportunity, but there are still other two exclusive sponsorship levels available.

As the Presenting Sponsor you would receive maximum promotional exposure at the event.  This opportunity is the highest level of sponsorship available, and we would love to highlight your company’s generous contribution to Meals on Wheels at the tournament, in the local media, and online. We are also looking for a Dinner Sponsor who will be highlighted at the event’s gourmet dinner, and a Cart Sponsor whose branding will appear on every golf cart. These sponsorships also include golfer spots so representatives from your organization can join us for the day.
Have your company  featured on all golf carts and more by becoming the exclusive Cart Sponsor.

As our golfers sit down to eat their amazing dinner your company can be
front and centre with the exclusive Dinner Sponsorship.
All of these sponsorships support our Meals Subsidy Program, to ensure local seniors and adults with disabilities have access to hot and nutritious meals, regardless of their income.

If you are interested in sponsoring this year’s tournament, contact Matthew via email or at 519-772-8787 x224.

Drive to Deliver Golf Tournament the Most Successful to Date!


Thanks to our 55 sponsors, silent auction donors, enthusiastic golfers, and fantastic golf committee, we are happy to share that our annual charity golf tournament raised $45,000 this year in support of seniors and adults with disabilities throughout Waterloo Region! That’s a milestone for us as we have passed our $37, 000 mark, which was our record breaking total last year.  

The golfers once again loved their gifts, which included a $30 gift certificate to either King Crab Oyster Bar or King Street Trio Uptown, their choice of collapsible cooler, or car tote bag, and the sprain and sport injury spray bottle. All together the golfer gifts were valued at $96, which is more than half the cost for each golfer!

There are so many people to thank for this fantastic success, and we would like to start by thanking our Golf Committee who were instrumental in pulling this event together. Thank you Lawrence Bingeman, Lori Bordessa, Kevin Mills, John Emrich, and Dave Arjune. Also, we would like to extend a special thank you to Dennis Watson, who emceed the evening and helped us raise over $3,000 through our live auction.

Finally, we would like to thank our 55 sponsors and numerous silent auction donors for helping us reach this milestone mark. Please visit our “Generous Sponsor” page to give recognition to these great organizations who are dedicated to improving lives of seniors and adults with disabilities in our community. Thank you as well to the volunteers who came out to support us on the event day, especially the staff from Sun Life Financial – WaterlooWellington Financial Centre who helped at registration and at our specialty holes.

Here are just a few of the pictures from the day. We have posted the rest of the pictures on our Facebook page, as well as our website, so please join us there.
