We give back to the same community that has given us so much!
CEEA and its Board of Governors are actively involved, through donations of both time and financial resources, with a large number of charitable endeavors in the communities where we live and work. Over the last four years, our Members have directly contributed more than $495,000 to Charity. Even better, our Partner - the Shaw Charity Classic in support of Birdies for Kids - have matched our contributions up to an additional 50%. With over $537,000 in total contributions, CEEA is making a lasting imprint on three local Charities we support!

In 2021, CEEA is once again teaming up with Shaw Charity Classic. We have chosen to highlight 3 organizations near and dear to us: Calgary Reads, Calgary Police Youth Foundation, and Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse.
The Calgary Police Youth Foundation (CPYF) partners exclusively with the Calgary Police Service (CPS) to fund six youth-based programs to reduce youth victimization and criminal activity, focusing on education, prevention and early intervention to ensure “Safe kids, safe families, safe Calgary”. The carefully selected community initiatives that are not traditionally funded by government sources are YouthLink Calgary, Youth at Risk Development Program (YARD), Multi-Agency School Support Team (MASST), Calgary Police Cadet Corps, Integrated School Support Program (ISSP) and PowerPlay.
Working closely with parents, teachers, and communities, Calgary Reads encourages children’s love of reading with free books, resources and developing school programs. Building and maintaining relationships with educators, families and community service providers, Calgary Reads delivers literacy programs and initiatives directly to children where they learn and play – at home, at school, and in the community. Helping children learn to read earlier in life, to build confidence and love of reading with their own library by providing books they can keep are just a few examples of initiatives supported by Calgary Reads
.
Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse (CCASA) is the primary sexual abuse and sexual assault crisis and education service provider for Calgary and surrounding areas. Our organization exists because sexual violence is a crime that is prevalent in our society and impacts a significant number of people.
CCASA strives to enhance the health and well being of all people and our broader community through responsible and effective programs in sexual abuse education, research, and advocacy, crisis intervention, and counseling.
After over 20 years in the community, CCASA has become a strong foundation in the service delivery web, and a leader in the field of sexual violence.
