BIRTHDAY FUNDRAISING
Looking to make a difference for your birthday?
Do you want to help out Calgary Humane Society pets? Here are some ideas other children have done for their parties:
- Toonies for Tabbies – Have guests bring a toonie to donate to the animals at Calgary Humane Society
- Collect cash donations in lieu of birthday presents for the animals
- Ask each guest to bring a can of wet food or a bag of kibble (Royal Canin is preferred)
- Ask each guest to bring one item from our wish list
Please note: We are only able to issue a tax receipt to the original donor. If you are collecting donations from your guests and they would like a tax receipt, please record their name and address on the linked form and submit with the donation.
Don’t forget! If you held a special birthday party and are planning to drop off your donation, please contact the Fund Development Department at (403) 205-4455 ext 6000. We would love to say thank you!

A Calgary Humane Society Birthday Party Experience includes a visit with two special animal guest who will be brought up to the learning center. Children will learn the basic needs of the special guest and how to communicate with the animal using body language.
A note about animal guests: As an open-admission animal shelter, we receive animals of all species, breed, temperament and background. As such, some of our animals are more suited to visiting with young people and large groups than others. With a continually changing population of animals we cannot predict who will be available on any given day. Safety of our human and animal friends is our utmost priority and the most appropriate animal guest for your group will be determined by staff on the day of your visit.
