'Tis the season of giving, and The Leg Up Foundation has truly embraced the spirit of generosity and community at the 2023 International Christmas Market presented by TELUS. We are thrilled to announce that, through the success of 50/50 draws and ticket sales, we have raised an incredible $20,000. These funds are not just numbers; they represent the collective goodwill of those who participated, contributing to a cause that touches the lives of many. In the true spirit of the holidays, The Leg Up Foundation is directing these funds to support five essential community partners: the Calgary Food Bank, the Okotoks Food Bank, the Airdrie Food Bank, the Cochrane Food Bank, and the Tsuut'ina Food Bank.

The Spruce Meadows Leg Up Foundation Education Program targets students in grades 4 through 6, focusing on various elements in the Alberta curriculum, including the ecosystem, animal learning with a special focus on the horse, and the environment. The program is offered at no cost to participating schools and has expanded from 6 days in 2017 to 10 days in 2018 and 2019 to accommodate as many students as possible. The participating students are able to see Spruce Meadows, enhance their learning potential by participating in a hands-on program and be exposed to a unique environment that they may not otherwise experience.
