Calgary Flames Support For Sport #S4S Program
Help our club promote and foster the active lifetime sport of Lawn Bowling to a variety of ages and abilities in a safe and inclusive environment.
We are looking for your help to raise funds to go towards maintenance of our club, including refinishing the cedar wood work and repairing the east entry gate and concrete. Your donations are gratefully appreciated and fully tax deductible.
The Parks Foundation has partnered with the Calgary Flames Foundation to develop a NEW fundraising program to support the operational needs of local sport non-profits called “Support for Sport” (S4S).
Know that any contribution you make will go directly to our Club, be 100% tax deductible to you, AND the Club will receive a S4S grant of up to 50%.
The funds and the grant can be used by the Club for operating costs (like utilities, insurance, etc.) and capital projects (like resurfacing the cedar wood or fixing the east gate and concrete). We are targeting to raise $10,000, so every contribution helps!
The program runs until December 31, 2020 and grant funds are limited, so we urge you to donate TODAY!

The object of bowls is to roll your bowl as close to the target as possible. Between setting up your scoring strategy and defending your points, there is always something changing in a game of bowls.
IT’S EASY TO GET STARTED
All you need is flat, heel-less footwear and we will provide the rest!
We offer lessons for a nominal fee, the cost of which is deducted from the annual membership fee if you join the Club.
We encourage anyone who is interested to come out and try the game when we are open for play. We will provide the bowls and basic instruction on your initial visits and as soon as you are able to play at a reasonable level, we will set you up with practice greens of your own for further practice, or integrate you into the club’s genteral bowling sessions.
