🚨 SOS! We need a mowing company! 🚨

Camp Bonaventure starts Monday, and we've hit an unexpected bump in the road.

Our mowing contractor had to cancel at the last minute, and now our campers are arriving to a field that's a little too adventurous!

We're looking for a Calgary-area landscaping or mowing company with a ride-on mower to help us get camp ready.

✅ It should take 30 minutes or less
✅ We are happy to pay for the service
✅ We just need it done before Monday so our campers can safely run, play, and make unforgettable summer memories.

Can you help, or do you know someone who can? Give us a call at 403-269-9133 or send us a message!

A special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor: Fasken for once again joining us this year!

🎉We're so close!

Thanks to our incredible community, we've reached 72% of our $35,000 goal for our Little Moments. Lifelong Friendships. campaign.

That means we've already raised $28,000 to help individuals with disabilities connect with others, feel included, and find a place to belong.

With only $7,000 left to go before June 30, we're asking for one final push.

🌟 Every donation is matched through Rogers Birdies for Kids Presented by AltaLink.
Will you help us cross the finish line?
