- Event: Rotary Club of Calgary West Annual Calgary Stampede Parade Breakfast & Seating
- Date/Time: Friday, July 4, 2025 | 6:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Location: Downtown Calgary along the Stampede Parade route at 738 9th Ave SW
- Highlights:
- Hearty Stampede breakfast served by volunteers and Rotary youth exchange students
- Prime parade viewing from bleacher seating
- Fundraising through breakfast ticket sales and Rotary-branded cowboy hat sales
- Purpose: Fundraiser to support Rotary programs and community initiatives
- Outcome: A successful, fun-filled event celebrating community, western heritage, and service above self.
On July 3, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 p.m., Rotary Club of Calgary West members and friends gathered downtown to set up for the Calgary Stampede Parade Breakfast and Seating event. Setup tasks included organizing the breakfast and seating areas. Bleacher seats were professionally pressure washed by “Seating U.” The team’s effort ensured everything was ready for a successful event the following morning.
Empowering Future Leaders: The RAYEC Story
The Rotary Alberta Youth Entrepreneurship Camp (RAYEC) is a transformative, week-long summer experience for 60 youth aged 13–15 who are eager to learn about business and entrepreneurship. Campers gain hands-on experience in marketing, financial planning, and business development—culminating in a real-world “Business Day” where they launch and operate their own ventures using actual loans from bankers.
RAYEC is completely free for participants, thanks to generous donors and sponsors. In addition to business learning, campers enjoy recreational activities and mentorship from trained youth leaders.
An exciting part of the program is the Youth Leader Program, where 10 former campers (ages 16–18) return as volunteer leaders. These young adults undergo specialized training to mentor campers and guide team activities, making a lasting impact as role models.
By donating, supporters help cover critical costs such as accommodation, meals, transportation, and training resources. Contributions also expand access for youth in Indigenous and rural communities, where entrepreneurial education is often out of reach.
Every donation fuels a young person’s dream—and plants the seed for tomorrow’s changemakers.
Join the Calgary West Rotary Club in building a brighter future through youth empowerment.
