"Kids at Heart" Golf Classic
Each year, the Rotary “Kids at Heart” Golf Classic raises significant funds through the tournament and the support of our Sponsors, Donors, Volunteers and Supporters for the “Kids at Heart” Program. Charities apply, are screened, interviewed, and one or more are selected to receive the proceeds.
Rotary Dream Home
The Calgary Stampede is a global event attracting over 1 million visitors annually. This provides a fitting backdrop for our Club’s Dream Home Lottery. With the cumulative total raised approaching an impressive $20 million, this event is a testament to the power of collective action and the hard work of our Rotarians.
Legacy Projects
Challenger Park
An inclusive recreation, sport, and wellness facility where everyone can participate, regardless of ability. Conceived in 1997 and developed with support from the Rotary Clubs of Calgary and Airdrie, it provides equal access to amenities for all.

Community Service Projects
Alcove Addiction Centre
For more than 40 years Alcove Recovery has provided long-term residential recovery treatment programs for countless women who have courageously escaped domestic violence, those grappling with addiction and mental health issues. Alcove’s
recovery program allows mothers and children to remain together during the recovery process in a homelike setting.

Prostate Cancer Centre
One in six men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. There are an
estimated 2,700 new prostate cancer cases each year in Alberta.
It’s the third largest cause of death from cancer in Canadian men. When detected early, prostate cancer is one of the most successfully treated types of cancer. The funds provided by our club make possible the purchase and commissioning of an additional MANVAN to support prostate cancer screening.

Calgary Silver Linings Foundation
Silver Linings offers support to individuals, especially youth, who suffer from very debilitating and life-threatening eating disorders. This group has recently purchased a property which is purpose-ready. Our grant funding is for treatment-specific upgrades. This is not a private treatment facility and will be run by AHS.
International Projects
Kangaroo Mother - Uganda
Rotary clubs working together introduced Kangaroo Mother Care to the Mbarara Regional Hospital, Uganda. Kangaroo Mother Care is a low cost proven concept to improve survivability of premature infants, relying on skin to skin contact to maintain infant body temperature. Key to sustainability of the project was the training of medical staff in the neo-natal unit.
BioSands Filters
In rural communities without access to water treatment, families often face the burden of boiling or treating water - costing time, money, and too often, their health.
To address this, our club partnered with Rotary Clubs in Colombia and The Rotary Foundation to provide BioSand Filter systems and hands-on training to over 10,000 families. These simple, sustainable filters have led to improved health, reduced medical costs, and fewer absences from school and work—bringing lasting change to entire communities.
Clean Water & Toilet Project - Cambodia
In Cambodia proper sanitation for the rural poor is rare and having a proper toilet for those with special needs almost non-existent. In true collaboration in both the Rotary world and the world at large, after a conversation with a club in Melbourne, Australia we were put in touch with an Australian NGO helping on both fronts. The toilets were built for recently displaced Cambodians.
