Stadnek Invitational 2026
A global golf fundraiser for CFL Fans Fight Cancer
Play anywhere. submit your score. make an impact.
The Stadnek Invitational started the way a lot of great ideas do, with a round of golf between friends.
Joe Balaneski and Dave Stadnek headed out for a casual day on the course, and somewhere along the way, the idea stuck. What began as just another round turned into something worth doing again… and then again… and then with a few more people.
The name? That came from Dave… although Joe was the one who named the tournament 😆
The logo? That’s Dave's dog, Indie 🐶, who somehow became the face of the event.
From there, it grew, a little more each year, into something that now brings people together to support cancer patients across Canada.
The full story?
You’ll have to ask Joe or Dave … they tell it best 😏
From April 1st to November 15th (Grey Cup Day), golfers anywhere in the world can participate by submitting their scorecards and helping raise funds for cancer patients and families across Canada.
