Thanks to Community Supporters

It’s more than an outing…

When you donate experiences to the St.Amant Foundation, those tickets bring joy to children, youth, and adults who use St.Amant’s services. While we deeply appreciate these generous donations, it’s the St.Amant community and their families who can truly express the impact.

Here is a note we recently got from Colin, a ticket recipient,

“A big thank you for the Valour Football tickets. We have three sons, all supported by St.Amant, and we’ve been looking for opportunities to take them on solo adventures. This game came at the right time, as we hadn’t figured out what could be done with one of the boys. He had so much fun. They had free popsicles, his favourite treat, and the staff said we could access the VIP lounge to get some free candy. He met the mascot and petted his nose as well. Every time a player hit the ball with their heads or kicked it high in the air, he laughed so hard. He spent the next day telling his brothers how much fun the soccer game was.”

Thank you very much to everyone who has donated sporting or performance tickets and to our community partners who have donated experiences. Your gift means so much.
