Calgary Quest Children's Society

Why We Fundraise:

At Calgary Quest Children’s Society, every dollar raised by Team Quest will directly support families raising children with developmental disabilities. This year, we aim to raise $20,000 as part of our 45th Anniversary Campaign.

About Calgary Quest's 45th Anniversary Campaign

Since 1979, Calgary Quest has been dedicated to creating a place where children an
young adults with developmental disabilities can learn, grow and thrive. What began as a small school founded by passionate parents has grown into a vibrant community that includes specialized education, therapy, transition-to-adulthood programs, camps and family supports. 

For 45 years, we’ve been walking alongside students and families, building opportunities, breaking down barriers, and celebrating every milestone. Today, Calgary Quest continues to honor that legacy by preparing for the future, expanding programs, strengthening community connections, and ensuring that every young person has the chance to reach their full potential. 

Through this campaign we are aiming to raise $90,000 in honor of 45 years of impact. Each name added to the wall will represent a piece of the foundation that supports every student’s success, a visible reminder of the community that continues to build Calgary Quest. Together, we’ll continue to strengthen that legacy and lay the groundwork for the next 45 years of learning, growth, and possibility.

Thanks to the generosity of our community we have raised our first $45,000  for Tuition Subsidies, Therapy Programs & Communication Devices and Engaging Materials & Equipment.

And now we are building what's next!

With a goal to raise an additional $45, 000 to support the growth and development of two hands-on learning spaces for our students and participants:

📖 Learning Commons💡- Barlow Campus
A shared learning and library space designed to foster curiosity, connection, and accessible, collaborative learning.

🧩 Life Skills Lab🏠 - Sunalta Campus
A dedicated space for hands-on life skills training, featuring a participant-led tuck shop, laundry area, and practical learning stations that help students and young adults build independence and confidence while learning new and mastering previous abilities.
