FRIDAY, JULY 4TH 2025

DEANE HOUSE | 5:00-11:30 PM

Saddle up for the 4th Annual Ace High Stampede Kickoff!

Get ready for the ultimate start to the Calgary Stampede on Friday, July 4! This exciting event combines fun and philanthropy, with a portion of every ticket sold and all donations directly benefiting the Trellis Society to support essential community programs.

The Ace High Stampede Kickoff began as a way to give back when, in 2017, Shawn Freeman the founder said, “If we’re going to have a party, we’re raising money for a charity.” Trellis (formerly Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary) was the obvious choice, as Shawn himself was a club kid growing up.

In 2024, we proudly raised over $100,550, bringing our total contribution since inception to an incredible $224,428!

We’re also excited to announce that Maillot Homes is once again stepping up to match the net proceeds, up to $50,000! Their generosity and partnership will double the impact of your support, ensuring we can help even more families and individuals in need.
