KIDS UP FRONT CALGARY
Kids Up Front creates joy, promotes inclusion and strengthens communities by connecting children and families to enriching experiences — from empty seats to unforgettable adventures.
The idea for our cause was sparked in Calgary in 1999 by John Dalziel,
a businessperson impacted visually by the empty seats at a sporting event.
John envisioned these seats filled with deserving kids — kids who may never receive the opportunity to attend a hockey game or a concert due to financial or social circumstances.
Since then, we have provided 650,000 experiences valued at $21.5 million to
southern Alberta kids.
