The 2025 CPKC Women’s Open attracted enthusiastic crowds and showcased unforgettable performances, enabling CPKC to help raise a record $4.5 million for cardiac healthcare in Ontario.

On Sunday, CPKC presented a donation of $4 million to MacKids, the arm of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation dedicated to fundraising for McMaster Children's Hospital, and $502,000 to Trillium Health Partners.

Fueling the excitement, CPKC Ambassador and Canada’s winningest golfer, Brooke Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ont., delivered an unforgettable performance at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club to capture her second CPKC Women’s Open champion title and 14th LPGA Tour victory, further elevating the prestige of the event that continues to combine world-class golf with life-changing community legacy. This was Henderson’s first LPGA Tour win since January 2023. She previously won the then-CP Women’s Open in 2018 in Regina, Sask.

"We were thrilled to return to Ontario for a tremendous week of golf and giving culminating in a record $4.5 million being raised for MacKids and Trillium Health Partners to support pediatric and cardiac health,” said Keith Creel, CPKC President and CEO. “We’re proud to leave this legacy making a difference for the patients that need it the most. Thank you to everyone, from the amazing players to the volunteers to the thousands of passionate fans, who helped make this year’s tournament a resounding success. All of us at CPKC are honored to make a difference in the communities where we live, work and operate.

“Brooke Henderson delivered a spectacular performance over the last few days, adding another victory at home here in Canada,” Creel added. “Congratulations to Brooke on her incredible win which left an entire nation cheering this weekend. Thank you to the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area community for hosting us, for turning out in big numbers to cheer on our Ontario champion, and for making this such a successful tournament.”

This year’s total donation is the result of several fundraising efforts of the CPKC Has Heart community investment program which supports heart health initiatives across North America. Through CPKC Birdies for Heart, CPKC contributed for each birdie made by Mississaugua Golf and Country Club members prior to the tournament and $5,000 for each birdie made by LPGA players on the 11th hole during championship tournament play. CPKC also matched donations made during a MacKids campaign online this summer.

“This incredible contribution from the CPKC Women’s Open will have a transformative impact on the lives of children and families who rely on McMaster Children’s Hospital,” said Anissa Hilborn, CEO of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. “The funds raised will enable the creation of the Integrated Cardiac Health Initiative, which will revolutionize pediatric cardiac care through early diagnosis, advanced treatment and comprehensive support programs. On behalf of MacKids, I extend my gratitude to CPKC, the golf community and everyone who made this remarkable achievement possible.”

Said Caroline Riseboro, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners Foundation, the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open community partner: “We are so grateful to CPKC for generously raising $502,000 towards cardiac care at Trillium Health Partners. Through matching donations dollar-for-dollar until Aug. 21, CPKC has allowed us to double the impact of all donations. These donations will help to enable things like the purchase of life-saving medical equipment that improves patient safety, diagnosis and long-term monitoring.”

Since 2014, CPKC has helped raise more than $27 million for children’s heart health as the title sponsor of the CPKC Women’s Open.

“The wonderful impact of the CPKC Women’s Open on our host communities through CPKC Has Heart continues to be a point of pride for the championship,” said Laurence Applebaum, Chief Executive Officer, Golf Canada. “The lasting benefit to pediatric heart health across the region is immense and we applaud our partners at CPKC for strengthening the philanthropic legacy of Canada’s National Women’s Open Championship.”
