This grew because it mattered.
Five years ago, Curtis and Steve started DAY1DADS Impact Foundation with a clear belief mental health support should be accessible, discreet, and grounded in the community.

What began as an idea has grown into a platform that brings people together while allowing individuals to seek support on their own terms.

Golf has always been part of that connection. Not as a competition, but as a connector.

Fairways to Wellness exists because golf creates space for conversation and presence.

As we mark five years, we’re proud of how far this community has come and excited for what’s ahead

🥰 Thankful Tuesday 🥰

Over the weekend we celebrated with from Royal Lepage and his incredible team, Upper Lip Legends. They raised over $17,000 during Movember and donated $1,700 directly to DAY1DADS Impact Foundation. We have turned this donation into custom Care Cards that Doug and his team will be able to distribute to their network, clients, and loved ones.

These Care Cards unlock access to therapy, counselling, and mental health resources. Every card can support someone when they need it most. Real conversations, real support, and real community impact.

Doug and the Upper Lip Legends took action for men’s mental health and the ripple effect will be felt far beyond the month of November. Thank you for showing what local leadership looks like and for making mental health approachable in everyday life.

Together, we keep pushing forward.

As the holidays approach, many families feel both the joy of the season and the quiet weight that comes with it, the pressure to provide, the stress of making ends meet, and the feeling of doing it all alone.

This event will bring 100 families together for connection, popcorn, and care, while opening doors to over $2,000 in trusted mental health and family resources through our Care Card program.

Day 1 at

From the moment we walked in, surrounded by some of the most powerful brands and voices in the world, we felt something different.

Energy. Purpose. Connection.

Last year, we came to listen and learn.
This year, we came to lead through impact.

We are sharing our story, meeting incredible people, and creating conversations that remind us why we started in the first place.

To connect, to support, and to build community through real conversation.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by or referred speakers and attendees to our booth and grabbed a , and took a moment to talk.

Because every sip, every chat, and every connection matters.

Sip. Savour. Save a Life.

Some stories begin with nostalgic moments.

For our founders, Steve and Curtis, it started at a coffee shop on a day that changed everything. Steve found out he was a father for the first time. He was scared, unsure, and searching for guidance and Curtis was his first call — no judgment, no advice, just conversation over coffee. That moment became the foundation of DAY1DADS, proof that sometimes all it takes is one connection to change a life.

For many of us, meeting for coffee isn’t just routine — it’s nostalgia, it’s healing, it’s human.

That’s where our collaboration with comes in. Shaft captures that same feeling of connection, reflection, and courage without the compromise. It’s about taking a moment to pause, open up, and share what’s real.

Together, we’re blending purpose with experience, and we can’t wait to share this story with you at

Sometimes, the most powerful change starts with something as simple as sitting down, sharing a drink, and having the courage to talk.
