SHLF’s Calgary Committee was very excited to host its inaugural Viva Vino – Empowerment through Sport & Education on May 5th at 100 Wines by David Walker.

The wine social and silent auction was a great opportunity for local guests to learn more about SHLF’s history and mission and enjoy delicious wine and food throughout the evening. Guests also had the opportunity to hear from Kevin Tonak, Principal, Ian Bazalgette Junior High, who spoke about their Friday After School program that SHLF looks to fund for the upcoming school year.

With approximately 150 people in attendance and over $10,000 raised, Viva Vino was a huge success thanks to all of our guests and donors and their overwhelming generosity and support.

The event would not have possible without the incredible support of David Walker, Proprietor, 100 Wines. SHLF thanks David for his outstanding commitment to the foundation. SHLF Calgary is thrilled to bring the foundation to Calgary and looks forward to deepening our impact locally with our partnership with Ian Bazalgette Junior High.

The committee is already looking forward to next year’s event! Enormous thanks to the Calgary Committee for all their hard work and enthusiasm!
