Champions of Hope / FieldProof

We built trust running shows. Now we're using it to fix trades hiring.

Champions of Hope started in Vancouver with live music, local artists, and sponsored fundraisers. That work put us in the same room as the trades. FieldProof is what we're building next: we screen trades applicants for BC contractors so your team stops burning hours on people who were never going to show.

Built with real partners

Sponsors backed the shows. Local causes received the support.

Champions of Hope has already worked in the real world — with sponsors, trades organizations, community groups, and local nonprofits. That proof is what FieldProof is being built on.

Logos represent past Champions of Hope show sponsors and causes supported through event fundraising. This section is included as credibility context, not as a claim that every organization is currently involved in FieldProof.

What Champions of Hope is becoming

We started with shows. Now we are building a trades-readiness filter.

Champions of Hope started through live events, local artists, sponsors, and community fundraising in Vancouver. That story still matters. It proves we can build trust, get people to show up, and turn attention into action.

FieldProof is the next layer: a candidate-readiness filter for trades employers and workforce partners. We help teams waste less time on unready candidates by manually validating people before they reach hiring or intake teams.

Now building FieldProof

We're not staffing, and we're not a lead list.

Before anyone reaches your hiring team, we check the basics by phone: work eligibility, transportation, real experience, when they can start, and whether they actually want the trade.

From the shows

Real feedback from artists, vendors, and people in the room.

Champions of Hope started with Vancouver shows built around local music, art, community causes, and people actually showing up.

25% of ticket sales are donated to the selected cause. The remaining ticket revenue helps cover fixed artist guarantees and event costs.

Artist feedback

I cannot remember a charity event we have done that is as good as COH... the homegrown non-corporate nature of it makes the shows feel we are actually making a difference, like our contribution actually matters.

Beni, Sleepy Gonzales

Artist feedback

Awesome night! The CoH team are contributing a valuable space to the local scene and are great to work with.

Luke Bidulka, guitarist for Witiko

Artist feedback

Communication was easy and everything seemed really well organized. Can totally tell it’s a passion project. You all really went above and beyond.

Josh McKenna

Artist feedback

The experience was amazing! Incredible seeing all the people who live for music and art and want to help support fellow artists and vancouverites.

Cason Lof, drummer for Caught Feelings

Audience feedback

I had so much fun, the music was incredible and the event supported a great cause. The crowd was hyped and happy! What else can you ask for?

Artist feedback

Everybody involved was friendly and passionate. Promotion on C.O.H’s end made the show feel professional and I really enjoyed working with Jimmy, C.O.H, and The Mezzanine.

Silas, bass player for Transient

Artist feedback

Everything about the event from the promotion and the actual evening went really well. Incredibly glad to have been included and would do it all again in a heartbeat!

Brooks, The Lily Dippers

Artist vendor feedback

The atmosphere was so positive, and the team was super helpful and organized. Overall, it was a fantastic event, and I’d love to join again!

Support the next show

Sponsor a future Champions of Hope show.

Your sponsorship covers the fixed costs of the night, so the artists still get paid and the charity still gets its cut. You put your name on a room full of people who showed up for a local cause.

Events and community origin

The shows still matter.

We are still doing shows. We are still supporting local artists, volunteers, sponsors, and causes. FieldProof is the business direction, but we are not forgetting where Champions of Hope came from. For show updates, flyers, and community posts, check our Instagram.
