Sponsored Organizations
OUR FOCUS
At all of our events, fundraising is front and center. Since our inception, we’ve raised more than two million dollars for community-based charities in both Calgary and Toronto. Our focus is on supporting strong, healthy and thriving communities through sponsorship of health (physical and mental), education, children and Canadian champions.
Our sponsored charities receive ALL of the donations made by Jamboree guests plus all of the proceeds from silent auction items. Every dollar raised goes to charity while the event itself—the top-notch venue, the music, food and refreshments—is brought to you by hosts, Craig and Cara Senyk, and cornerstone partner Mawer Investment Management.
