The Brad Wait Foundation was founded in August 2017 in memory Bradley Bryan Wait, who lost his 31-month battle with brain cancer at the age of 42. A few weeks before Brad died, his old boss said, he would do a Golf tournament in Brads' memory. After the boss left, Brad said, "You be on top of that, Mom!"

8 years later, Brad Wait Foundation has given over $320,500.00 to local charities by holding Brad Wait Memorial Golf Events at Seymour Golf & Country Club.  The first Brad Wait Memorial Golf Tournament donated $100,000 to North Shore Hospice.

Brad Wait Memorial Golf Tournament, raffles and auctions have received tremendous support from family, friends, Seymour Golf & CC members, Brad's golf, hockey and business friends (and strangers).

May 2023 Brad Wait  Foundation gave the first Memorial Bursary to a Sutherland Student whose brother suffered with mental illness and took his own life.  June 2024, two $1,500.00 were given to two young women, one who was hospitalized in her youth and the other who was homeless during part of her high school years.
