Excel Homes Charity Spotlight: Hospice Calgary

Get to know us

This Excel organized event is held on the third Sunday of September in picturesque Edworthy Park. We kick off our family friendly 5 km/10 km walk/run with coffee and pastries. After sufficiently fueling our bodies, we venture out as a group with babies in carriers and toddlers on shoulders or strollers. Some of us run, most of us walk, and all of us enjoy the time spent connecting with co-workers, friends and family. The walk ends with live music, children’s entertainment and a delicious barbeque lunch, which is donated and prepared by one of our longstanding suppliers, Western One.

Over the past eight years we’ve raised upwards of $275,000 for Hospice Calgary – an organization dedicated to easing the pain, lightening the burden and comforting the minds of those who are in need of end-of-life and bereavement support. As a non-profit service provider, Hospice Calgary relies on charitable contributions to continue their mission of helping families and individuals achieve support, hope and well-being through compassionate end-of-life and bereavement care.

We’ll be out for Hospice Calgary on Sunday September 18th this year. If you’re around the park, or see us strolling down the Bow River pathway, please feel free to give us a smile, honk or wave to show your support!
