Proceeds from this year’s Teddy Bear Fun Fest will help deliver world-class care to kids and families at the existing Stollery, while also bringing to life a new stand-alone Stollery for the future. Because, when care has No Bounds, there’s no limit to what our kids – and our community – can achieve.

Originally the Shaw Charity Classic, Rogers Birdies for Kids Presented by Altalink is a golf tournament that raises money in Calgary each summer. Funds collected are used to support local charities and any charity can apply for the program. This year, we’re thrilled to be one of the charity beneficiaries.

There is NO minimum amount that must be raised to receive matching.

After our fundraising deadline on May 31, we will submit our final Teddy Bear Fun Fest fundraising amount to Rogers and receive matching funds in the fall of 2026 based on their 2026 matching tier structure:

TIER I
FIRST $20,000 – 50% matched

TIER II
NEXT $30,000 – 15% matched
