Shaw Birdies for Kids tees up major support for kids programs

The results are in! We are happy to report that this year's Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink was a success!! Thank you to everyone that donated and supported the fundraiser.

In total our donors contributed $17,510. This amount was then matched 50% by the Calgary Shaw Charity Classic Foundation, adding $8,755, for a total of $26,265!!

These funds will go towards making a difference in the lives of children and youth in our region. We are proud to support programs that help kids and their families spend more time outside, like 'Welcome to Canada,' 'Natural Leaders Project,' and 'Inspired by Nature: Youth Art Exhibition.'

Thank you for helping us to invest in the future of environmental education in our community. For helping us to provide engaging nature-based experiences, field trips, and displays. And for helping us promote a deeper understanding of the natural world!

We also extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers of the Shaw Charity Classic. Thank you to Rogers, Shaw, AltaLink, and the Patron Group for delivering a first-class professional sporting event. Since inception in 2013, the Shaw Charity Classic has helped to raise over $93 million dollars for over 260 children and youth charities across Alberta. We are proud to be included among this group.

We look forward to next year's event taking place at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club from August 12-18, 2024. Stay tuned for updates in the new year!
