🎉 Introducing GoFundLocal — Fundraising the Canadian Way, Eh! 🍁💰
We’re beyond excited to launch GoFundLocal, where raising money for schools, teams, and organizations means supporting local businesses — because keeping it Canadian is a win-win! 🎉🍁 No upfront costs, no hassle, just simple, feel-good fundraising that strengthens our communities.
And who’s behind this community-driven powerhouse? Meet the dynamic Calgarian duo who made it all happen! 💪👯♀️

With a history of leading successful fundraising initiatives (and rocking a hockey jersey as the former President of the Southern Alberta Women’s Hockey League 🏒), Brigitte knows exactly how to bring communities together for a great cause. Plus, as a mom of two teenagers, she totally gets the importance of supporting schools and teams!
