The Duncan Memorial Tournament and Fundraiser is aimed at remembering our friend Dave who passed unexpectedly on February 23, 2024. Through sport, team, laughter and community, this ‘Everyone Welcome’ annual fundraiser will rekindle old friendships, reconnect neighbours and open doors to support with mental health in a small town.

Dave Duncan, Bruin’s Captain #22, shared his light with everyone he met; a true leader who gave everything to make someone else’s day. Like many of our lost friends, Dave struggled with mental health but felt he was a burden to others if he talked about it. Dave sadly lost his battle in silence, far too young, leaving behind a loving wife and four kids.

This tragedy has happened too often, especially in recent years. It’s time to bring back the culture of caring that comes with being from a small town. A culture that Dave never stopped fostering. With this event, we aim to bring back waves hello, a visit on the porch with neighbours and everything that reminds us that if you’re from here, you’re not alone.

Of course, we’re also here to do some FUNdraising! Our goals are targeted at contributing to the Duncan childrens’ trust fund + a donation will be made to a local charity in Dave’s name.
