Swing Of Hope

Message from the Chair

I want to take this opportunity to thank all the golfers who joined us for our Swing of Hope Golf  Tournament at the Cedar Brae Golf course on May 25th, 2023.  The foundation today exists because of our Golfers. It all started 27 years ago with a simple tournament to raise funds for a diabetes Camp for kids and their families.

Realizing the vital need for support programs and resources for youth and families, otherwise not available through the healthcare system, Diabetes Hope Foundation was born.  We have come so far since 1999, but our largest achievement is our signature Scholarship Program.  Now in it’s 25^th Year, we have awarded an astounding 900 post-secondary scholarships to post-secondary students living with diabetes!

We could not have done this or come this far without you and all our donors who have come out to support our Golf event every year.

I want to especially thank those who have been there from the beginning and continue to sponsor our event each year,  My husband Joe and Fluidhose and Coupling Inc, Frank Pallotta and Continental, Alistair Baxter and Lexus and Jeremy Freedman and the Freedman Family Foundation. 

To all those of you who continue to bring your teams out each year, we are grateful for your support and for continuing to help our kids live healthier and enriched lives.

I cannot express how honoured I am to have you all part of our DHF family and the friendships we have built over the years are heartwarming.

Together we are all making a difference!
