Mission Statement
The Calgary Flames Sports Bank is a charitable organization that gathers, recycles, and redistributes new and gently used sports equipment at no cost to kids who would otherwise be denied the opportunity to participate.
About This Cause
The Calgary Flames Sports Bank is a charitable organization that was created in 2014 through the generous contributions of Bill Comrie and the Comrie Family. Our primary goal is to gather, recycle, and redistribute new and gently used sports equipment at no cost to kids, across Southern Alberta, who would otherwise be denied the opportunity to participate. We are heavily reliant on donations, and volunteer engagement. Donations are accepted in the form of time, money, and equipment! We have a variety of sports equipment, everything from hockey and skating to soccer, lacrosse, badminton, and more! Equipment donations come from individuals and groups and are then screened to ensure they are safe and usable. We do not repair sports equipment. New equipment may be purchased from time to time to supplement supply and/or meet safety standards. In October of 2019 we merged with KidSport Calgary to better serve the families who need our help. Combined we are now providing sport registration fee assistance and no cost equipment - the two biggest barriers keeping kids out of sport. This partnership also provides our donors and volunteers with a larger impact in our community. Volunteers are the heart of our operation as they donate their time, and help to gather, screen, sort, and distribute the sports equipment. The organization is also governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Calgary Flames Sports Bank is an organization that serves the community, but that is also fueled by community engagement in the donation of time, money, and donations. We are working towards a community where no kid goes without the proper equipment to participate in their chosen sport(s). We appreciate your involvement in helping us get kids into gear!
