THE IDEA
Empty seats can become unforgettable adventures.
A simple idea that started in Calgary became a way to connect kids with experiences they may never otherwise have.
OUR IMPACT
Small gifts. Big memories.
Our work is about much more than getting through the doors. It’s about belonging, confidence, family connection and the chance to simply have fun.
Inclusion
Live experiences can help young people feel seen, connected and part of the community around them.
Possibility
A game, concert, class or day out can spark a dream and create a memory that lasts for years.
WHAT WE DO
More than a ticket.
We make it easier for generous donors and community partners to put great experiences in the hands of kids who need them.
01
Sports & recreation
Hockey, basketball, camps, attractions and other active experiences that get kids moving and cheering.
02
Arts & culture
Concerts, theatre, museums and creative experiences that invite curiosity and imagination.
03
Family connection
Shared moments that help children, caregivers and families build memories together.
THE DIFFERENCE
When a child gets to experience something new, the ticket is only the beginning.
We work with local child-serving agencies so experiences reach children and families who are already receiving support in our community.
