Calgary Health Trust - Foothills NICU

Raise money for Calgary Health Trust - Foothills NICU

Calgary Health Trust fundraises for healthcare in Calgary and raises money for projects that will have a big impact on the city. In Southern Alberta, 1 in 8 newborns need the care of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). That’s why Calgary Health Trust is working to expand and rebuild the NICU at Foothills Medical Centre where the tiniest and most fragile babies are born. This $60M fundraising project will impact care for the hundreds of families who walk through the doors. 

1 in 8 babies born will need the care of the NICU. Help us give every infant a fighting chance to live the best life possible.Your support of the Sport Chek Mother’s Day Run, Walk and Ride helps to provide the equipment and resources to give them just that.

Some babies come into the world as early as 23 weeks and weigh as little as 500 grams. How can we help them live the healthiest lives possible? The care these babies receive in the first minutes, hours, days and sometimes even months in the NICU can mean life or death and have lifelong impact on their development and future health.

Proceeds from the 2019 Sport Chek Mother’s Day Run, Walk & Ride will go towards the redevelopment of the Foothills Hospital NICU. This new space will put leading-edge research into action, combine the very best in people, space and technology and ensure that every newborn has access to the specialized care and attention only world-class NICU’s can provide.
