We are thrilled to receive the Donor of the Year award from Closer to Home Community Services, a charitable organization dedicated to helping children and families thrive in Calgary. Tourmaline has been proud to support its Adopt-a-Family campaign for many years to help spread cheer and ease the stress many families feel during the holidays. Thank you for this recognition, Closer to Home, and everything you do for our community! #yyc #community
Today, we celebrated a beautiful milestone: 15 years of spreading holiday magic through our Adopt-a-Family campaign! What an incredible journey it’s been—15 years of bringing joy, comfort, and hope to families in need. When we first launched Adopt-a-Family in 2009, we set out to ease the burden and stress many vulnerable families feel during the holiday season. That first year, we supported 52 families, raising $10,255 to provide gifts and food hampers. Fast forward to last year, and with the love and generosity of people like you, we supported 850 families and raised over $600,000—all for our community. None of this would have been possible without our amazing community of donors and sponsors, who come together yearly to ensure these families feel the warmth of support and love during the holidays. Today, we celebrate you. Thank you for 15 years of holiday magic and for making such a meaningful difference in the lives of so many. ❤️ We also want to give a special shout-out to our Adopt-a-Family award recipients. Your dedication and kindness have made a lasting impact on our community.
