The Mike Weir Foundation is dedicated to advancing the physical, emotional, and educational welfare of children. Established in 2004, the foundation focuses on supporting youth development through various initiatives. Their mission emphasizes creating positive impacts for children and youth in communities. The foundation has more recently shifted its focus to providing supports for youth mental health.
The foundation has strong ties to Bright's Grove, Ontario, which is Mike Weir's hometown. While based in Ontario, the foundation has supported broader initiatives across Canada. In 2007, their Miracle Golf Drive For Kids raised $6.7 million that benefitted Children's Miracle Network hospitals throughout Canada. The foundation maintains a significant presence in the Sarnia-Lambton area where it has made substantial investments.
Program highlights include the foundation's $1.5 million donation to help establish a Youth Wellness Hub in Sarnia-Lambton. This hub serves as a comprehensive resource for young people aged 12 to 25, offering mental health and addiction services. The Sarnia-Lambton YWHO is notable as the first site to pilot activity programming as part of its care model through "Weir Active." Previously, in 2007, the foundation ran the Mike Weir Miracle Golf Drive For Kids, which raised millions for children's hospitals across Canada.
