The 5th Annual Ace High Stampede Kickoff was a tremendous success, raising an incredible $104,000 for the Trellis Society!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors and supporters, we’ve now raised a net total of $328,428 in support of the Trellis Society—funding vital programs that uplift children, youth and families throughout Calgary.
The Ace High Stampede Kickoff began as a way to give back when, in 2017, Shawn Freeman the founder said, “If we’re going to have a party, we’re raising money for a charity.” Trellis (formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary) was the obvious choice, as Shawn himself was a club kid growing up.
We’re deeply grateful to Maillot Homes, whose commitment to match up to $50,000 in net proceeds has once again helped us turn generosity into real impact. Their partnership helps us reach more people, with more support, when it matters most.
