Fundraising & Initiatives
Shepherd’s Care Foundation holds two signature fundraising events each year. The Annual Golf Tournament and Cake Auction are not only for a great cause, but are great opportunities to network, socialize and learn more about Shepherd’s Care.
Community giving is also something of great importance to Shepherd’s Care. Every year, staff participate in a Christmas Appeal. The Shepherd’s Care Foundation matches employees’ contributions to a selected worthwhile cause. In 2014, $3,500 was raised for local food banks in Edmonton and Barrhead.

Music Care Initiative
In Summer 2016, Shepherd’s Care Foundation piloted a project at our Kensington Campus to provide care to our residents through music. The program included drumming circles, one-on-one time spent singing, playing instruments, listening to music using ipods with residents, and group sing-alongs.
We will be launch a permanent Music Care Program in 2017 and we need your help! Find out about how you can support this Program.
