Friends help to make great things happen at KCCFA! Thanks to everyone who has raised funds through<br />
community initiatives and to those who shaved their lids for the kids. Here are few highlights:<br />
Holy Spirit Charitable Society Delivers<br />
Our friends at the Holy Spirit Charitable Society are helping us to communicate with you. By<br />
providing funds to distribute this newsletter, Holy Spirit enables us to send the newsletter to you<br />
three times a year. With a circulation of 5,000, it reaches all our families, program participants,<br />
volunteers, stakeholders and donors with information about what’s new in childhood cancer<br />
research, magic moments at camp, special events in the community, volunteer activities and highlights<br />
of our supporters. The production of this newsletter is made possible through a generous<br />
donation from an anonymous donor.<br />
BMO Employees Provide Hope<br />
The Bank of Montreal Fountain of Hope is an association of employees and<br />
pensioned employees of BMO Financial Group. For 35 years this association has<br />
been directly benefiting charities through financial support and personal involvement<br />
of its members. KCCFA is grateful to have been a recipient of their generosity<br />
for the past several years.<br />

24-Hour Design Blitz Yields New Friends<br />
KCCFA was fortunate to be selected as a recipient of the creative energies of<br />
CreateAthon: a 24-hour design marathon benefiting local not-for-profit organizations<br />
in Southern Alberta. Members of The Society of Graphic Designers of<br />
Canada worked on pro-bono projects for various organizations. As a result of this event, Donna<br />
Deschenes and her team at Deschenes Regnier have taken on the creative task of developing<br />
the marketing materials for the upcoming Trico Homes Ride for a Lifetime. They have generously<br />
donated their time and their energy to create a fresh new look for this third annual event.<br />
Toromont Process Systems<br />
For eight years our friends at Toromont Process Systems have been hosting a golf tournament in<br />
support of our Camp & Community Outreach programs. A committee of staff volunteers organizes<br />
a great day of golf for all the participants. Toromont raised $52,000 last year – a record<br />
amount for this tournament!<br />
Survivors Jeff McNabb, Taryn<br />
Penrice and Amanda Richter<br />

efforts to KCCFA<br />

Golf a Kid to Cure<br />
Last September, a small group of childhood<br />
cancer survivors, their parents and friends<br />
joined forces to organize the second annual<br />
Golf a Kid to Cure. All extremely committed<br />
to the cause, these volunteers put on an<br />
amazing tournament at Alberta <strong>Spring</strong>s Golf<br />
Resort just outside of Sylvan Lake. Thanks to<br />
all the sponsors, prize donors and golfers who<br />
helped make this tournament an outstanding<br />
success, raising $92,000 for cancer research.<br />
