🌟 Gold Sponsor Spotlight: Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP 🌟

Heart Beats is proud to recognize our friends at Cassels as a Gold Sponsor of our 17th Annual Fun Run & Walk.

Cassels has been a valued partner to Heart Beats for many years. Beyond their sponsorship, their team consistently leans in to support our community through special fundraisers, volunteer efforts, and a genuine commitment to the families we serve.

This year is especially exciting as they celebrate 10 years of their Calgary office. We are grateful to have had them alongside us for part of that journey.

While families may never see the legal and governance work happening behind the scenes, it plays an essential role in ensuring Heart Beats remains strong, accountable, and able to continue supporting families when they need it most. Cassels helps us navigate the important work that often goes unseen—providing guidance and expertise that allows us to focus on what matters most: supporting children with heart disease and the people who love them.

Thank you to the entire Cassels team for your partnership, your generosity, and your belief in our community.

💛 Congratulations on 10 years in Calgary, and thank you for helping Heart Beats continue to build a community where families feel seen, supported, and connected.

🏃‍♀️❤️ ONE WEEK TO GO! ❤️🏃‍♂️

In just one week, our community will come together for the 17th Annual Heart Beats Fun Run & Walk, presented by CPKC

As we count down to race day, we're reflecting on the incredible impact this community made last year. Together, participants, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and families helped raise more than $100,000 to support children and families navigating congenital and acquired heart disease.

Every registration, donation, sponsorship, volunteer shift, and encouraging word helps ensure families receive support during diagnoses, surgeries, hospital stays, and the many moments in between.

To everyone who has supported Heart Beats over the past 17 years, and to those joining us for the first time this year, THANK YOU.Your generosity creates connection, community, and hope for heart families across Alberta.

We know some of you were already planning snacks for the drive.

Don't.

Thanks to our friends at Acutech, every registered participant will receive a food truck voucher to enjoy lunch from Neon Tacos or Alberta Burgers at this year's Heart Beats Fun Run & Walk.

Come for the run. Stay for the tacos. Or the burgers.

While you're enjoying lunch by the pond (and possibly spotting a duck if we're lucky), you'll also be helping Heart Beats support children and families facing the challenges of pediatric heart disease.

Food tastes better when it's helping a good cause (and we are told the calories don't count... 😉).

Thank you, Acutech, for continuing to support our families and helping make this event feel a little more special!

June 13. East Lake Park. Good people. Good food. Good cause.
