Over the past 19 years, Business Fore Calgary Kids has raised almost $3.6 million dollars.
These funds have been distributed to different local youth focused charities.
The charities we are proud to support for 2025 are:
Between Friends provides quality social, recreation, and development opportunities so that people with disabilities can connect, grow, and belong. We focus on abilities, not disabilities. This allows each person to set their own goals and determine their level of participation.
Distress Centre Calgary ensures that no one has to face crisis alone. Since 1970, we have provided free, 24/7 mental health support, crisis intervention, and navigation services to connect individuals with the resources they need to move from crisis to stability. Through our leadership in crisis and mental health services, we bridge the gap between individuals seeking help and the systems that support them
Our ConnecTeen program offers specialized peer support for youth, creating a safe space where young people can reach out to trained volunteers close to their own age.
Discovery House is committed to breaking the cycle of violence by providing the support families need to heal and move forward. Our vision is for families to recover fully and never have to re-experience the trauma of domestic violence. Our mission is to create healthy, thriving families by offering a nurturing environment where survivors can rebuild their lives and achieve long-term success.
USAY uplifts Indigenous youth in Calgary through culture, connection, and opportunity. Our programs blend traditional knowledge with modern tools—offering cultural camps, mentorship circles, and innovative digital storytelling. By empowering Indigenous youth with skills, community, and pride in their identity, we help them build strong, resilient futures.
