HYMAN FAMILY FOUNDATION

What HYMAN FAMILY FOUNDATION does

The Hyman Family Foundation is a private charitable foundation established around 2022 and associated with NHL player Zach Hyman. It operates as a single-event fundraising vehicle, hosting the annual Zach Hyman Celebrity Classic, a charity golf tournament held at Oakdale Golf & Country Club in North York, Ontario. The foundation has cumulatively raised over $3 million for children's charities, with the 5th annual event scheduled for July 27, 2026.

The foundation's sole programmatic offering is the Celebrity Classic, which combines a golf tournament with gourmet meals, live entertainment, silent auctions, raffles, contests, and celebrity mingling. It distributes proceeds to four named beneficiaries: Stollery Children's Hospital (Edmonton), UJA Federation (Toronto, Jewish community services), Colby's Kidz (youth hockey program in honor of former Oiler Colby Cave), and SickKids Foundation (Toronto, with proceeds directed specifically to oncology and leukemia research). The geographic footprint spans Ontario and Alberta.

The revenue model is event-driven and two-streamed. The first stream consists of corporate sponsorship packages, sold through direct outreach using a downloadable sponsorship deck (ZHCC-2026-Deck.pdf), offering customizable tiers that bundle brand visibility, client entertainment, business networking, and CSR positioning. The second stream is event fundraising, including tournament participation fees, silent auctions, raffles, giveaways, and direct donations. Marketing relies on the foundation's website (hymanhelps.com), earned media coverage across NHL and Canadian sports outlets, and celebrity-driven social-media amplification through Zach Hyman's personal channels. The foundation is operationally lean, with Alex Voihanski listed as the named corporate contact.
