YOUNG PHILANTHROPISTS IN ACTION
communities. Many FOT Gala attendees contributed to
the Hockey Bros campaign with the result that the boys
were able to purchase approximately $40,000 in hockey
equipment!
Tree purchasers Suncor and Finning have hosted skating
parties and hockey equipment donations in Fort Chipewyan,
Fort McKay, Conklin, and Anzac. Parker and Crus have
attended and spoken at each event telling the kids that they
just wanted them to have equipment and enjoy the game
and bring funds and attention to the Health Foundation.
We are very proud of everything the boys have done to
bring attention to the rural communities and to the Health
Foundation.

Youth philanthropy is on the rise in our region and we have
been very grateful for the support from individuals and school
groups who are fundraising and volunteering for the Health
Foundation.
We offer a big thank you to all of our Young Philanthropists
and encourage you to keep donating!
Most recently guests to the Foundation office have included
the Busy Bee Café volunteer team from Westwood High
School, the Winter Carnival Committee from Westwood
High School and representatives from the Holy Trinity High
School who did a class fundraiser. We loved hearing how the
fundraising was accomplished and we get really excited to
hear how they are learning to support each other and their
community through their good work.
We also had over 60 youth volunteers for our Festival of
Trees weekend who were creating the special events that
attract kids and families to festival every year. What could be
more powerful than kids helping kids and giving back to the
community?
We having been keeping a close eye on two youth with a
passion for hockey and volunteering who really amped up
their fundraising game this year in support of the Foundation.
The Fort Mac Hockey Bros, Parker and Cruz Flett, started
the fall with a minor campaign to Fill the Box in their backyard
with new hockey equipment for kids in the outlying region
who didn’t have access to equipment to play the game. The
idea took off when Bouchier Contracting and Finning Canada
challenged each other to a hockey game in support of the
boys’ campaign.
When the boys entered a tree in the Health Foundation’s
Festival of Trees they had no idea how popular the idea
would be. The tree, designed by their mother Allison
Flett, featured hockey equipment and gave the purchaser
the opportunity to deliver the hockey equipment to the
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS HEALTH FOUNDATION
