one ticket supports CFR KidsUpFront United Way



Category: General News

check out this CFR ticket offer…buy CFR tickets for $10 each…donate tickets to kidsupfront  to send a kid in your place…$2 from the original purchase of each ticket goes to the United Way. i dunno, sounds like a super win-win-win to me.


kids love horses…we love WELCA



Category: General News

can’t say enough about WELCA…had kids up front out to the edmonton horse show last may for an afternoon to tour the stables, feed and ride the horses…one student became so attached to the horses, he didn’t want to go back to school…can’t blame him! now, WELCA has donated a 10 week long riding lesson package for Take A Chance for Kids as well as another afternoon of riding and fun at the stables next spring. WELCA’s a true friend! if you’re free the evening of November 12th, please support hoofbeats & heartbeats gala.


sonic boom surprise

“dear kids up front,

thank you for providing tickets for my son and i to sonic boom. i had wanted to purchase tickets for my son and i to attend, but it would have been much too expensive…almost $200 for the event. i’m a single father andd just do not have that kind of money to spend on concerts. most unexpectantly, the bent arrow healing society provided my son and i with tickets to sonic boom. when i gave the news to my son, he was very happy. i will be forever grateful to kids up front…”

from a dad…

“what a great game! i would like to thank [kids up front foundation], the ymca & save-on-foods…dj and i enjoyed the crowd, the cheering and ribbing each other because dj rooted for [the calgary stampeders], with the losing team (me!) doing the breakfast dishes…with the exception that [the edmonton eskimos] lost, it was a warm, wonderful night to see [my son's] happiness and excited gleam, the innocence of a child’s fun…thank you for a gift that was more than tickets.”
