We hope you take the time to review this Calgary Flames Foundation Annual Report for the period July 2019 to June 2020. We are proud of the work we are doing on behalf of our supporters. 2019-20 ANNUAL REPORT In Memory of Ken King Ken M. King joined the Calgary Flames as President and CEO in the spring of 2001, and over the course of 20 years, he built a strong and vibrant sports and entertainment organization. His relentless focus on customer service and the fan experience enabled the Flames to survive the challenges they faced early in Ken’s tenure, and created the foundation for a successful sports entity. This entity now includes the NHL Calgary Flames, WHL Calgary Hitmen, the AHL Stockton Heat, the NLL Calgary Roughnecks and a controlling interest in the CFL Calgary Stampeders. His leadership and passion were also integral to the negotiations for the new Calgary Event Centre. In the larger community, Ken’s love for the city was evident in the many community boards he volunteered his time to and the many causes he put his energy behind, especially the Calgary Flames Foundation. Ken worked incredibly hard to ensure the organization had a positive impact: from his vision for Flames Health Training Camp events, to a partnership with the Alberta Children’s Hospital that opened southern Alberta’s first youth hospice, to his commitment to amateur sports groups, to his leadership in the REACH! campaign for innovative healthcare equipment. Ken had an amazing ability to attract and retain high-performing executives —people who are as passionate about Calgary and it’s sports teams as he was. Ken wasn’t just a leader, he was a mentor and friend. We are grateful for the time we spent with him professionally and personally. Ken taught us that when your family calls, you answer. We can all take our own lessons from Ken to heart, and for that, he has our everlasting respect. His impact on our community will not be forgotten. 2019-20 ANNUAL REPORT Charitable Disbursements Health + Wellness Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation Homes for Heroes Foundation
