Over the past few weeks, employees from Valsoft Corp. and the Valsef Dream Big Foundation swapped office rooms for fairways, participating in a series of fundraising golf tournaments. But this wasn’t just about friendly competition—it was about creating real, measurable impact.
Each round played helped drive forward the missions of four remarkable organizations, all dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. From access to mental health support and rehabilitation programs to nutritious school breakfasts and world-class pediatric care, every dollar raised helped build brighter futures.
Impact Beyond the Fairway
Fondation Portage – Supporting Teen Rehabilitation
$6,500 donated - Part of a collective $184,000 raised at the 30th Portage Golf Open
A team from the Dream Big Foundation proudly supported Fondation Portage, which offers specialized residential rehabilitation programs for teens dealing with substance use disorders. The full event gathered more than 140 golfers and hundreds of supporters, helping fund therapeutic care, academic recovery, and long-term reintegration programs.
Dream Big’s contribution of $6,500 forms part of the larger $184,000 raised—an investment in rebuilding lives and empowering youth toward healthier futures.
Club des Petits Déjeuners – Golf at Le Mirage
$278,860 raised = 3 new schools to receive full-year breakfast programs.
Valsoft and Dream Big Foundation team members took part in the 27th Edition of the Classique Golf et Vélo, supporting the Club des Petits Déjeuners. This national organization ensures children start their school day with a nutritious breakfast—because no child should learn on an empty stomach.
Every morning, over 87,000 children in Quebec benefit from this initiative. Thanks to the exceptional success of this year’s tournament, three additional schools will now receive breakfast service for an entire year, reaching hundreds of children with nourishment and dignity.
Fondation Jeunes en Tête – Advancing Teen Mental Health
$15,000 donated through tournament sponsorship and participation.
With leadership from Valsoft and Valstone CEOs and employees, our teams participated in a tournament supporting Fondation Jeunes en Tête, whose mission is to prevent psychological distress in youth aged 11 to 18. Their in-school workshops and tools for parents and educators reach tens of thousands of people each year.
Our sponsorship helped fund mental health prevention programs that empower teens to recognize symptoms of anxiety and depression, build resilience, and ask for help when needed. In addition, the Dream Big Foundation proudly contributes $30,000 annually, helping the organization expand its reach and deepen its impact.
CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation – Cachou Golf Tournament
$5,000 donated by Valsoft team
Two Valsoft teams proudly participated in the 38th Edition of the Cachou Golf Tournament, hosted in support of the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation, a globally recognized leader in pediatric healthcare.
Funds raised from this prestigious event help advance cutting-edge research, acquire state-of-the-art equipment, and provide family-centered care to thousands of children across Quebec. Our participation and contribution of $5,000 helped strengthen the foundation’s efforts to give every child the best chance at healing.
More Than a Game
These tournaments were more than moments of teamwork and generosity—they were a reflection of our shared belief that business can be a powerful force for good. We are committed to investing in the well-being of the next generation. Whether it's by fueling school breakfasts, opening doors to mental health support, or helping youth find their footing again, every action we take is rooted in our mission: to empower communities, support children and families, and create meaningful, lasting impact.
As we look ahead, we remain driven by the idea that true success is not only measured in growth—but in how many lives we uplift along the way.
