Play With Stephen

Born out of a passion for community service and an unconventional birthday celebration amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Play With Stephen is more than just a charity golf tournament. It is a testament to the power of collective action, a symbol of compassion, and an annual celebration of unity and inclusivity.

Play With Stephen illuminates our mission to enrich the lives of individuals with autism. Every August, we create a vibrant platform where golf enthusiasts from around the globe come together to raise awareness and generate vital resources for autism centres.

Our Origins and Objectives

Play With Stephen began as a small gathering of friends, united by their love for golf and commitment to making a difference. The inaugural event, held in support of the Autism Awareness Care and Training Centre, sparked an overwhelming response that ignited the flame for this annual tradition.

Our objective transcends the boundaries of a typical golf tournament. We aim to foster understanding, promote inclusivity, and ignite conversations about autism. But more than that, we strive to ensure that individuals with autism receive the care, resources, and opportunities they deserve.

Our Commitment to Transparency

Transparency and accountability are the cornerstones of Play With Stephen. We took a significant step in 2022 to enhance our credibility by engaging an independent auditor, ensuring that all donors and participants can clearly see the impact of their contributions.
