The Numbers Are In: 2016 Campaign a Success!

March 11, 2017 By Christmas Spirit Campaign

The Christmas Spirit Campaign delivered 242 hampers and raised $82,000. The board would like to extend a huge thank you to the Bow Valley for all their support and an extra special thanks to our donors and volunteers. We couldn’t do it without you!  With the support of the Bow Valley community, our 2016 campaign was a great success.

  • 242 families were supported with hampers and 60 single households with grocery gift cards.
  • We raised $82K with contributions from more than 269 receipted donors and others who provided cash donations in the Santa boxes.
  • The Food Drive brought in 7589 lbs of usable food compared to 8700 lb of food the year before. This was 1300 lbs more than the 2014 campaign. We brought in $3550 in cash donations, $1.5K less than the previous year.
  • The Elves program provided 212 gifts to 106 seniors at Cascade House, Mount Edith House, Bow River Seniors Lodge and Homes, Canmore Hospital Extended Care, and Exshaw seniors.
  • 230 volunteers helped with many aspects of the campaign including the food drive, transportation, packing and delivering hampers. In total volunteers contributed 525 hours of time or $10K of value.

Our 2022 Goal

$90,000

Annually, we directly support 1,500 people in the Bow Valley.

The BVCSC was started by the Canmore Lioness Club. By 1997 a volunteer committee established the organization and by 2000 we received our society status.

Since our inception hundreds of families have benefited from the generosity of others and learned that Christmas wishes do come true!
