National Philanthropy Day is celebrated worldwide every year on November 15. Once again this year, we have the privilege of nominating several members of our Stollery community who have made an impact.
More than 20 years ago, when a nurse made his tiny, premature baby girl a dress for Christmas, Delta Hotel General Manager Barnie Yerxa, was inspired to make a difference in the lives of children and families like his own who were navigating a hospital stay.
Charlotte began giving in memory of her husband Frank, but it soon became her own passion. Now a Great Bear Society member, she’s proudly continuing their legacy for Stollery kids.
Despite a wildfire evacuation in their community of Swan Hills earlier this year, the team at Aspenleaf Energy Ltd. still found a way to support Stollery kids.
Celebrating a decade of our youngest fundraisers
What began as a single lemonade stand has now become a citywide movement. Join thousands of kids and families raising millions to support Stollery kids through Lemonade Stand Day!

For Shirley Ibe, fundraising for the Stollery Children’s Hospital isn’t just about the dollars raised – it’s about the beauty of sharing your story and inspiring others. Even small businesses can make a huge impact on kids’ health.
