What a meeting! Our guest speaker brought an incredible message, the beer was on point, wonton soup kept us warm on a freezing cold night, and the 3 charities were well represented by the members who nominated them!
?If you didn?t get an opportunity to attend, you can still donate your $100 via this link:?https://100mencalgary.com/donate/?It?s never too late!
Curious about how our last meeting went down? You’ve come to the right place!
Returning Recipient
First, Centre for Suicide Prevention came back and told us how they allocated the donation they received from us at our last meeting. We couldn’t be happier that the money has found a great use, and supports their important work.
The 3 chosen charities for the evening were as follows:
- Some kids are facing physical challenges, while others are facing social challenges and some have multiple challenges. Most kids have never been away from a parent, many have never been on an airplane, and none of them have ever been to Disneyland. Each of these children, at one time or another, has cried out ? ?why me? or ?what did I do to deserve this? or ?it?s not fair?. All funds raised in Calgary will go to the Calgary chapter and benefit Southern Alberta kids.
