CP’s Goals for Kids Program Donates More Than $75,000 to Charity
CP is dedicated to raising awareness about heart-healthy living through our community investment platform, CP Has Heart. One of the tenets of CP Has Heart is to help improve the heart health of youth, and one way to do so is to lower financial barriers that can affect children’s participation in sports. Since 2014, CP has partnered with the Calgary Flames to raise funds for youth sports, reducing costs and allowing more youth to participate. In the Flames’ 2018–19 NHL season, CP donated $250 per goal scored, which went to KidSport Calgary and the Flames’ EvenStrength program.
KidSport Calgary supports registration fee payments for qualified youth in Calgary, for all sports. Similarly, the EvenStrength program assists qualified youth with the cost of registration fees to participate in Hockey Calgary’s registered minor hockey. The 2018–19 program raised more than $75,000, split between the two charities, and the program has raised more than $300,000 since the 2013–14 season.
