The 8th Annual Golf Quest 4 Clinical Trials in support of The Ottawa Hospital is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, 2026, at the Canadian Golf and Country Club. Over the past seven tournaments, this golf event has raised over $12.7 million with leveraging. This year we hope to continue this incredible success and continue to provide much needed support to continue to advance clinical trial research, right here in Ottawa.

The Ottawa Hospital currently has more than 752 clinical trials underway with close to 11,086 patients. Clinical trials help enhance current treatments, develop new drugs, and compare various treatment options to identify which is most efficient. They are crucial to the progression of healthcare and even more important, they provide hope to patients for whom standard treatment options are no longer effective. Researchers at The Ottawa Hospital are leaders when it comes to clinical trials, and their research is not only saving lives in our community, but also changing how health care is provided around the world. Our researchers are among the most successful in the country in attracting external grants and contracts to support their research projects and clinical trials, but these only cover about 60% of the full costs of doing research. Donor support is required to fill the gap and fuel growth and innovation.

The Golf Quest 4 Clinical Trials has been designed to be the premiere fundraising golf tournament where funds raised from the tournament will leverage 10:1 from various levels of government and granting agencies! This leveraging enables us to annually provide much needed research funds to give patients and families hope. Thank you for all your support and for being part of one of the most extraordinary best-in-class charity golf events that will benefit so many in the Ottawa community.
