First United Golf Tournament Mini Auction

The Golf Tournament and silent auction are integral parts of our fundraising efforts to raise $125,000 for our work in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. The Tournament is a fundraising highlight which engages our greater community and helps drive much-needed support and revenue for our programs. Proceeds from the silent auction support First's direct-service and advocacy work helping our neighbours experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty.

FIRST UNITED is a registered charity that has been serving low-income, underhoused and homeless individuals in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for nearly 140 years. On the frontlines every day, FIRST UNITED’s low-barrier essential services include shelter to 51 residents, legal advocacy, tax filing, spiritual care, mail and phone services, overdose response, essential items like clothing and toiletries, and over 1,000 free meals each week to DTES community members. FIRST UNITED also engages in systems change work to reduce homelessness, break the cycle of poverty, and address the racialization of poverty. FIRST UNITED's vision is a neighbourhood where every person’s worth is celebrated and all people can thrive.
