Sled Island Music & Arts Festival

Donate to Sled Island this month and have your donation matched up to 50%! Along with many other amazing local charities, this year we are honoured to be a part of Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink. This non-profit program is under the Calgary Shaw Charity Classic Foundation, and is a program designed to help raise new funds for local charities. All donations made until August 31, 2024 will be matched up to 50% through the Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink program! Donating through this program not only helps Sled Island get 50% matching funds to every donation, but contributes to a pool that reaches tons of other local charities, as well!
