Climb for the Kids – Calgary Tower

The Climb for the Kids event supports MCA Mexico’s Canadian Angels Foundation, a registered Canadian charity focused on providing educational and therapeutic opportunities, improving health and nutrition and introducing much needed respite services for families of children with disabilities. We support children and youth with disabilities to improve their health, welfare, social and cultural participation.

Our work is carried out at Casa Connor, a facility built in Mexico, largely by Canadians, as a legacy to Connor Vanderveen who had Hunter Syndrome. He was born and lived his short life in Calgary. Connor’s life legacy provides much needed hope for many, many children with special needs.

For our first ever Climb event, our goal is to have more than 100 people climb the 802 stairs of the Calgary Tower in support of MCA who, in turn, will use the funds to support the children and youth with special needs who attend at Casa Connor in Mexico.
