    • One Ask = One Auction Item (Seriously, That’s All We Need)

      We’re this close to an incredible silent auction for our new playground (April 27–May 11). Your job? Ask one person or business you know. That’s it.

      Deadline: April 24 (ish… we’ll take late gems too 😉)

      Think: experiences, services, gift cards, kids’ camps—anything fun or useful.

      Quick ask: “Would you be open to donating a product, service, or gift card? It’s super easy, and your business gets promoted to 600+ local families.”

      👉 Have them submit here or email [email protected] with any questions

      Cue the applause… these fine humans and businesses have already jumped in:

      • Anabelle’s Kitchen

      • Calgary Surge Basketball Team

      • Camp Brand Goods

      • Connect School Council
