Driving Change Together: 1Kosmos Sponsors Bell Canada’s Golf Tournament Supporting Kids Help Phone

Jens Hinrichsen

At 1Kosmos, we believe that technology, when put to good use, has the power to transform lives and communities. That’s why, when Bell Canada, one of our valued customers and a longstanding champion of youth mental health, invited us to join their annual fundraising golf tournament for Kids Help Phone, we enthusiastically accepted.

More Than a Game: An Event with Impact

Every year, Bell Canada brings together the brightest minds from across IT, InfoSec, Fraud, and business leadership for an event that’s about so much more than golf. This gathering is the single most critical fundraising event for Kids Help Phone, the national organization at the forefront of supporting youth in crisis. As the only 24/7 e-mental health service for young people in Canada, Kids Help Phone provides an essential lifeline to children and teens, many of whom have no other support system.

A Staggering Statistic and a Shared Mission

A representative from Kids Help Phone shared a striking figure at this year’s event: 75% of children and youth reaching out to the helpline disclose things they’ve never told anyone else. For some, Kids Help Phone is their only resource in moments of vulnerability, fear, or confusion. This statistic underscores the vital importance of the organization’s work, and why sustained support matters.

Partnering for Good

For 1Kosmos, participation in this event went far beyond sponsorship. It represented an opportunity to walk alongside Bell Canada in championing cybersecurity, mental wellness, and community care, pillars that are deeply aligned with our own values. It was inspiring to connect with leaders and teams from across the technology spectrum, all united by the goal of uplifting youth and shaping a safer, more supportive future.

Thank You, Bell Canada and Kids Help Phone

We extend our deepest thanks to Bell Canada for their vision and leadership in supporting Kids Help Phone, and to the tireless staff and volunteers who make a real difference in the lives of young Canadians every day.

At 1Kosmos, we look forward to continuing our partnership and our shared commitment to protect, empower, and uplift, on and off the golf course.
