“This event is really about community,” says Escape Maze organizer Angelica Haggert. “Disc golf is one of the most welcoming sports out there, and the Little Hyzers program makes sure kids can participate regardless of financial barriers. Pairing that with food donations for Kawartha Food Share means we’re supporting both youth recreation and families in our own community.”
Registration is $20 per player, with all proceeds supporting Little Hyzers youth programming. In addition to tournament play, participants and spectators are encouraged to bring canned food donations for Kawartha Food Share, helping provide essential supplies to local food banks across the region.
"Capitalizing on the success of previous fundraisers in the GTAH, Missed Mando is excited to bring this initiative to eastern Ontario to serve a new population of players," says Missed Mando podcaster Sean Galbraith. "We want disc golfers to have a wildly hilarious, yet challenging fun experience, while also supporting youth participation in this easily-accessible sport."
Throughout the day, Escape Maze will also offer additional fundraising activities, such as drop-in laser tag sessions and afternoon escape room bookings with proceeds going toward the Little Hyzers program, giving visitors extra ways to participate in the cause.
The tournament is designed to be accessible to players of all experience levels, from seasoned competitors to newer players looking to enjoy a casual round for a good cause.
