Since 1992, Pledge Day has raised money for small children’s charities in the Calgary area that support at-risk kids who need extra care. This is the first in-person Pledge Day since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As we rush toward Christmas and another Pledge Day on 770 CHQR, I think we’re all drawn to the countless groups and individuals that are struggling in our community,” said John Vos, regional program director for Corus Radio and chairman of the Calgary Children’s Foundation.
“The dollars we raise from generous supporters and listeners during this important day will help in some small measure those struggling in Calgary.”
