All proceeds from Dave's appearance were donated to the Dave Andreychuk Foundation.

On March 25, 2011 Dave Andreychuk was the Keynote Speaker for the Hamilton Charity of Hope. Hamilton's Mayor Bob Bratina, 2007 Canadian Idol Winner Brian Melo, Hamilton's Citizen of the Year Peter Mercanti, Hamilton Tiger Cat Dave Stala, Retired NHL star and Hamiltonian Ric Nattress as well as hundreds of guests filled Carmen's Banquet hall for an unforgettable evening of dinner, auction, and  Dave's Hockey Story. 

The function raised $100,000 for The Charity of Hope.

​In gratitude and support, The Charity of Hope made a donation to The Dave Andreychuk Foundation.

October 2009, several young hockey players from the Hamilton Minor Hockey Association were on hand to help draw winning tickets for prizes donated by the Dave Andreychuk Foundation.  

Money raised by this event supported specific Hamilton Minor Hockey Association Houseleague players who may not otherwise have the resources to participate in this hockey program.  The chance drawing was held at The Dave Andreychuk Mountain Arena, Hamilton, ON.

 As honorary chairman of the Motorcycles for Moffitt Poker Run, Dave lead the bikers from the Harley Davidson of New Port Richey to the Harley Davidson of Brandon.  It was a chilly morning but many bikers braved the cold to raise money for research at the Moffitt Cancer Center.

“We were very honored to have Dave Andreychuk speak at our annual meeting in June. His story was very inspirational and motivating! The message of perseverance and dedication continuously hit the mark throughout his speech! Dave is an outstanding individual and someone that can be admired by not only hockey fans, but anyone that is driven and passionate about what they do. Having Dave as our surprise guest speaker was definitely the highlight of our meeting.”
