Junior League of Calgary Kicks Off Its Annual Campaign

With Canada's National Philanthropy Day fast approaching on November 15, the JLC is preparing to launch its 2011 - 2012 Annual Campaign.
With your help we can continue the League's wonderful programs like Moms U Matter at Highbanks Society and Treasure Trunk at Brenda's House, both of which have been highly successful.  Teen Totes continues to meet some of the needs of vulnerable young Calgarians, and Kids in the Kitchen continues to inspire children to make healthy food and lifestyle choices and raise the awareness of childhood obesity.     

Each year members are asked to help sustain the League's many activities with tax deductible donations. Alberta increased the tax credit to 21% for donations over $200 to eligible charities.  Combined with the Federal tax credit of 29%, it gives donors in Alberta a 50% tax credit – one of the highest in Canada!  And under the Alberta Community Spirit Program, charities can receive a grant based on the total eligible cash donations received from individual Albertans over a 12-month period, so your donations count twice!
Please watch for your Annual Campaign letter and please continue your generous support of the JLC!
Thank you!
