First, The Doorway came back and told us how they allocated the $10k+ they received from us at our last meeting.

These folks do a wonderful job in our community helping youth find a path off the streets. They explained how far $10,000 is going to reach out to the vulnerable and how their programs work to truly benefit each person specifically.

All in all, the money was put to good use and we?re grateful they came back to tell us how the money was used. Want to contact them for more information? Here they are:

Charities

1.?Third Academy International Ltd

Calgary?s School for Special Needs Education

We create a well-balanced, individualized, integrated, and intensive program for each student, designed to prepare them for re-entry into their community school as quickly as possible.

Students with special needs require an Individualized Program Plan (IPP) that builds upon their strengths while remediating or compensating for their learning disorder. Lesson content responds to the needs of each student while adhering to the Alberta Education program of studies.

2.?STARS – Shocks Trauma Air Rescue Service

In the early 1980s, studies showed about half the deaths due to trauma could have been prevented if patients had received critical care sooner. When Dr. Greg Powell lost a young mother who was being transported from a rural area to Calgary by ground ambulance, he decided something had to change. That?s when he founded STARS.

Less than half the population of Western Canada lives in major urban?centres?and has access to critical care within minutes. For the other?half?such access is measured in hours. That can mean the difference between life and death; full recovery or permanent damage.

With STARS, those living in rural communities, working in remote areas,?travelling?on highways or being transported from community hospitals to major medical?centres, receive the very best in critical care in helicopters staffed and outfitted as mobile ICUs.
