Community is a the core of what the Calgary Kangaroos and Calgary Kookaburras stand for. In 2020 we elected to use the slogan, “better together” as a symbol of the clubs because we are all better when we work together. We had the opportunity to use that slogan almost immediately when tragedy began to sweep across Australia in the form of the 2019/2020 Australian bush fires. The clubs wanted to contribute in whatever way they could, and we chose to have a fundraiser. The grassroots initiative ‘caught fire’ as the whole club rallied around the cause. Very quickly local businesses caught wind of the initiative and wanted to get on board to help in any way that they could.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the community we raised over $17,000 to go to the Red Cross in support of the Australian bush fires.
When the community rallies together, great things are possible.
#bettertogether
