AFP Calgary Volunteers

THANK YOU for everything that you do for your community - whether you shovel your neighbour's sidewalk in the winter, deliver meals for Meals on Wheels, sew masks for our front line workers, serve on a charity's board or any of the million other things that volunteers do!

Volunteers like YOU are superheroes. And right now, volunteers like YOU are the lifeblood of every organization and your community.

So, this week, the AFP Calgary & Area Chapter is celebrating our volunteers: our board members, committee members and instructors who give tirelessly to support our profession. By supporting fundraising professionals in Calgary and our neighbouring communities through your volunteer work, you are also supporting the critically important work of all of our organizations.

So, join us as we celebrate the volunteers of AFP Calgary & Area Chapter and all of the amazing volunteers in our communities: send a card, write an email, send a virtual thank you and give yourself a hug to celebrate the superheroes in your organization and community.

Join our team of volunteers.


Thank you to our AFP Calgary & Area Chapter Volunteers 2019/2020
