Changing Lives One Event At A Time

Our signature fundraising events are the highlights of our year and help us to provide  high-quality, specialized care to our children and families. When you participate in, sponsor, or attend an event in support of The Darling Home for Kids, you make a significant impact on the lives of those we serve. We offer a range of exciting events that provide an opportunity to engage and inspire our community.

Join us in making a difference for children at The Darling Home for Kids. Whether you’re a golf enthusiast, a rally adventurer, a gala lover, or an outdoor enthusiast, there’s something for everyone. Tee up for our DHK Classic, navigate scenic routes in the Car Rally, enjoy an elegant evening at The Darling Butterfly Ball, or experience nature at Wheels. You can participate, sponsor, donate, or volunteer to help raise essential funds. Together, we can bring hope and joy to the children and families at DHK.

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure at the 4th Annual Rally for DHK, presented by Arctiq! Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 5th, and join us for a heart-pounding, team-based quest that combines the thrill of a scavenger hunt with the beauty of scenic country roads. Picture this: You and your team, equipped with just an odometer, a compass, and your quick-thinking brains, will set out to solve clever clues and navigate through picturesque landscapes. It’s a challenge that’s as exhilarating as it is rewarding, with both Recreational and Competitive divisions to suit all levels of adventure-seekers.

Over the past three years, our amazing participants have driven more than 11,000km in support of The Darling Home for Kids. This year, let’s surpass that milestone and rally together to support the medically complex children and families who rely on our Home.

Starting Line: Alton Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (Branch 449) 1267 Queen Street West, Alton
