10th Annual ladies only Peanut Butter Classic charity golf tournament

The Peanut Butter Classic is a ladies only charity golf tournament for women with passion: a passion to help and a passion to golf. Now in its 10th year, this event, run and organized entirely by volunteers, has raised over $730,000 to support programs for women and children in need, and contributed nearly 2000 jars of peanut butter to the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank. This remarkable achievement has been made possible with the help of our generous sponsors, golfers and volunteers.

The tournament will be held on Monday, June 10th at the prestigious Heritage Pointe Golf Course and includes a signature gift for each golfer, breakfast followed by an 18 hole Texas scramble tournament. It wraps up with a delectable dinner, prizes for all, and a silent auction with a tempting selection of items. And to round it out nicely, Calgary Firefighters will be on hand to heat things up, lend support to the ladies and join in with the fun.

24 hour row-a-thon

FRESH! Fitness is teaming up with the Calgary Rowing Club for a very unique fundraising effort. The groups are organizing a 24 hour row-a-thon right in the middle of Stephen Avenue.

Each team will each keep a rowing machine going throughout the day and night. Passersby are encouraged to jump on an extra machine to learn how to row or to contribute a donation to the teams.

Proceeds from the event will be going to a local charity, the Branch Out Neurological Foundation.

"We’re really excited just because of how much awareness it will raise," says Branch Out president Crystal Phillips. "People don’t see a lot of rowing in Calgary so to have it on Stephen Avenue on a hot day and night? I think a lot of people will be interested."

The row-a-thon runs June 20th – 21st, noon to noon and registration is open now! "Many teams are already registered but we are looking for more teams to make this a bigger success! It doesn’t matter what your current level of fitness is, anyone is more than welcome to come down and row for this great local charity" encourages Inglefield.

Let Me Be - Stop The Bullying

Let Me Be will be a day to end bullying in Calgary. Kids from ages 7-15 will participate in numerous activities such as sports, academics, arts, and fun games. Through these activities kids will get to discover who they are and what interests them, all the while learning about the types and impact of bullying, how to stand up to a bully, and how loud their voice is. Volunteers will take the kids in age-like groups through the activities; the goal is to promote new friendships between the kids, so that if anyone is bullied in their own school they have a network of friends to reach out to. There will be musical guests, expert speakers on bullying, free gifts and swag. Lunch, snacks and beverages will be provided. There will also be bully awareness information and speakers for all parents, guardians, and teachers. There is no registration fee; however donations to The Kids Help Phone, to support the fantastic work they do will be gratefully accepted. At the end of the day we want kids to love who they are, just as they are.
