About the Founder’s Cup Charity Classic
The Founder’s Cup Charity Classic is the annual fundraising event of the Founder’s Cup Foundation. The Directors of the Foundation are like-minded individuals from a variety of professions and business backgrounds. While coming from different places, there is absolute consensus on what the Founder’s Cup Foundation is all about. Our communities have needs that won’t be met unless people act. In our perhaps small way we choose to take up that challenge and hopefully inspire others to do the same. The Founder’s Cup has been raising money for worthy charities since 1995 and during this time has raised two million dollars. The Founder’s Cup Charity Classic was founded by BC Sports Hall of Famer Ron Jones.
