Julia's Hope Cup & Carnival 2025
Chippawa Park, Fitch Street, Welland, ON, Canada
The 14th Annual Julia's Hope Cup will be Feb 15th at Chippawa Park Pond in Welland for our traditional annual pond hockey tournament and carnival. Julia's Hope Cup is a celebration of the life of Julia Turner and her humanitarian spirit, while raising funds in support of The Hope Centre. This family event is open to anyone in the Welland community and is FREE to attend. Years ago, Paul Turner created the Hope Cup Pond Hockey Tournament to raise money for the Hope Centre. This festival gathered families in the community for classic outdoor Canadian pond hockey with an indoor silent auction and amazing prizes donated by local businesses. The name changed 10 years ago to Julia’s Hope Cup after Paul’s daughter Julia passed away, to honour the life of Julia and her inspiring spirit. Read Julia's Story. Funds raised will go towards The Hope Centre's food security programs, including their food bank and community lunch program. In 2024, The Hope Centre had over 24,000 visits to their food bank and served over 35,000 take-out lunches to help the most vulnerable in our community. More people than ever are facing food insecurity in our community with more than 1 in 10 Wellanders accessing the food bank. This year, Julia's Hope Cup is aiming to raise over $60,000 to support The Hope Centre's food security programs.
