Frank J. Flaman Foundation and Flaman Fitness

Since 2007, the Frank J. Flaman Foundation and Flaman Fitness have been major supporters of the ADF. In just four years, they have donated more than $250,000 through in-kind gifts such as fitness equipment, advertising, and volunteer hours. ADF’s involvement in their annual fundraising gala, the Frank Flaman Dinner and Silent Auction, has strengthened the relationship and also resulted in an additional $80,000 in funding for diabetes research. Flaman staff are also personally involved in the organization as volunteer committee members for our Halloween Howl Fun Run, an event that Flaman supports as a ‘Pledge Incentive Sponsor’.

Cash Store Financial Services Inc.

Cash Store Financial Services Inc. (CSF) has made an impact on diabetes research in the first two years of their seven year commitment to raise $7.5 million for the ADF. In addition to their monthly corporate donation and employee giving program, CSF has successfully implemented the Freedom Run – 3 and 5 km fun run – across the nation. In 2010, the second year of the event, 31 races were held in 10 provinces. In addition, they have implemented an awareness campaign for diabetes by offering in-branch promotions like Freedom Friday, puppy sales, and other smaller-scale fundraising events.

Canadian Western Bank

Canadian Western Bank (CWB) has been a proud supporter of the Alberta Diabetes Foundation for over 13 years and is honoured to have made a meaningful impact in the local community by contributing to funding for diabetes research. Since 1984, CWB has focused on supporting the endeavours of individuals and businesses in Western Canada and, as a result, has become the largest, publicly traded Schedule I bank headquartered in the West. Partnership with the ADF simply makes sense as both organizations continue to play an active role in making our Province stronger and healthier.

CWB first became involved with the Alberta Diabetes Foundation through sponsorship of the annual golf tournament in 1998. Since then, their contributions have been abundant in both Edmonton and Calgary. In 2010 alone, CWB was involved as Presenting Sponsor of the Jeans & Jersey Dinner and Auction, Gold Sponsor of the Sean Fleming Golf Classic and the Rations for Riches Breakfast, corporate attendees and studentship donors at the A Night to Remember Gala and completed their Capital Campaign commitment to the tune of $150,000.  In total, CWB has contributed $360,000.

While their financial support is key, it is their employees’ personal time commitments that truly define the relationship. Peter Morrison, VP of Marketing & Product Development has been a valuable member of the Board of Directors since joining in 2008, following a long legacy of support from previous CWB management including Bill Book and Ron Baker. Carl Knowler, Director of Marketing, has also played an integral role for the past 10 years as chairman and committee volunteer of both the Sean Fleming Classic and the Jeans & Jersey. Mike McInnis, the newest CWB member to make a mark at ADF, has joined in the planning for the golf tournament coming up this June at The Links. A number of other employees have also offered their time and skills over the years and continue to do so as the partnership between CWB and ADF continues to strengthen.

The Canadian Western Bank continues to be involved in the community and make a tremendous impact on the world around them. We, at the ADF, would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their continued support.
