Meet our Monster March Partners!
As we wrap up our biggest fundraising fest of the year, we wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our Monster March Partners! This year we teamed up with over 15 incredible local businesses and organizations to bring our month-long fundraising campaign to life. Our partners’ support and commitment to helping raise awareness for the Children’s Cottage shows what we can do when our Calgary community joins together to create a change for the better! Read on to meet this year’s campaign partners and the incredible work they do in the community!

With an emphasis on creating connections, we knew that this community was the perfect area to host this year's Monster March campaign!
