At the heart of the Big Hearted Mavericks is a simple mission: support children and families in our community who need it most.
Through the Big Hearted Mavericks Foundation, funds raised from events and partnerships go directly to Calgary organizations that create real change in young lives. From literacy programs and recovery support to inclusive recreation and youth development, every dollar raised helps build stronger futures.
Organizations supported have included:
➡️The PREP Society Reading Program, helping individuals with Down syndrome build lifelong literacy skills
➡️Between Friends, creating inclusive recreation opportunities for people with disabilitiesPacekids, providing therapy and education programs for children with diverse needs
➡️Alberta Adolescent Recovery Centre, supporting youth on the path to recovery
➡️Community Kitchen, addressing food insecurity and strengthening families
➡️Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta – helping families facing childhood cancer with programs, camp experiences, and vital support
➡️Calgary Dolphins Swim Club – providing competitive swimming opportunities for athletes with disabilities.
Together, these partnerships are changing lives across Calgary.
Over the years, the Mavericks have helped raise millions of dollars for children’s charities and programs that give kids the support, opportunity, and community they deserve.
