Our Mission
The mission of the foundation is to provide continuous funding to local charities and their recipients, with the goal that no family should worry about the cost of care or housing when treating a sick child or a loved one.
With a dedication to both business and philanthropy members of the Blais family, including Andre' & B.A. (Bob) and most importantly Bob's wife Michelle, who has taught children in the Calgary area for over the past ten years, has first hand knowledge of the impact of illness on children and the affects on their families. Regardless of the economic status of a family, all parents and their children should have access to resources and charities that provide for them in very difficult times. The shared values and the generosity of spirit within The Blais Family Foundation and its selected charities are aligned throughout all organizations core values.
