Since then, the Flames Foundation has donated millions to these key areas. The Calgary Flames Foundation endeavours to answer the call of Calgarians through proactive, as well as responsive, programming to meet community needs.

16 IGNITED BY THE CALGARY FLAMES FOUNDATION Hockey Education Reaching Out Society (HEROS) is a volunteerdriven organization committed to empowering children through ice hockey. The premise of HEROS is to use the game of hockey as a catalyst to attract youth to a program offering support for education, self-esteem building and life-skills training. The Flames Foundation supports HEROS through a multi-year partnership that resulted in a new HEROS program in the Calgary neighbourhood of Bowness. The partnership brings free hockey programming that teaches life skills to over 35 children annually. The three-year partnership fully funds the program in Bowness. opposite MINOR HOCKEY VISIT feature player BRETT KULAK this page HEROS feature player CURTIS LAZAR

During each Flames home game, Hamonic invites a child or families who have lost a parent unexpectedly, to attend a game and meet with them afterwards. The Northern Project is a program that sees indigenous children from the Canadian territories visit Calgary for a weekend on an all-expenses paid trip courtesy of the Hamonics. On three separate occasions this season, the Hamonic s hosted and paid for deserving families trips by working with Hockey North to receive nominations for kids that deserved the chance to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity.
