WOW! Huge appreciation to the Westcor Construction team for once again doing an incredible job collecting cake mix, icing & sprinkles, and other party supplies for our program!
Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone involved, we came together to donate:
🎂 180 cakes
📚 30 books
❤️ $1,000 in cash donations
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, volunteered, dressed up, donated and helped bring this initiative to life. And a special shoutout to our partners at Calgary Elite Roofing and PB for being part of something so meaningful.
Because every child deserves a happy birthday. Here’s to making a difference, one birthday at a time!
THANK YOU 100 Women Who Care Calgary! We are absolutely THRILLED to be the recipient of the 2025 GIVING TUESDAY meeting vote!
Big love to Carrie-Lynn for putting our name in the hat and sharing why The Happy Birthday Project MATTERS!
We are also so grateful to The Prosser Foundation for the generous donation match to support our organization! What a night! ♥
Thank you to Alison & Christy for continuing to lead & inspire this generous & passionate group of women who care!
