Mission, Vision & Objective of the Games For Hope Foundation
The Games for Hope Foundation is 100% volunteer-based, non-profit organization,
whose mandate is to raise funds through various means, mainly using the annual
Corporate Sport Benefit Tournament. All Funds raised are allocated to the pre-selected
childrenʼs charities.
During the course of the year leading up to the event day, we help raise awareness of
the charities that have been selected from the Montreal community, so that support for
research can lead to better treatment and prognosis of childrenʼs illnesses.
As we progress each year, we are striving to be recognized as one of the key organizations within the Canadian philanthropic community.

The Missing Childrenʼs
Network
Since 1985, the Missing Childrenʼs
Network has worked with thousands of families of missing
children who struggle each day
with their unexplainable loss.
Although we may never fully
understand the depth of the
anguish experienced by these
families, we are all sensitive to the
nightmare that they live. "Your
child is missing!” Is a phrase that
frightens us all and one that no
one is ever prepared to for? These
families need our help and together we can make a real difference
in their lives.
