CALGARY, ARE YOU READY?

This is your invitation to an unforgettable night of glamour, giving, and good times — all in support of Special Olympics Alberta and the Special Olympics Canada Foundation.

This event is more than just a party – it’s a chance to connect with your community, network with like-minded young professionals, and raise important funds through an unforgettable evening of entertainment and philanthropy.

YOUR $100 TICKETS INCLUDE:

  • Entry to The Ampersand at 9PM
  • Free Coat Check
  • Late Night Bites & Drinks
  • 3 Live Performances including a live band & a DJ!
  • Access to our Silent Auction with over 40 incredible items
  • Access to our Raffle Draw
    and so much more!

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Because you care about your community. Because you’re ready for something more meaningful than just another night out. Because giving back should feel this good.

This event not only brings awareness to the Special Olympics movement, but creates a safe and inclusive environment where people with and without intellectual disabilities can interact, build lifelong friendships, and ultimately create more inclusive communities.

By purchasing a ticket, you’re also helping to ensure that our friends at Special Olympics have the resources they need to safely participate in the sport programs they love.

THANK YOU TO OUR PRESENTING SPONSOR

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

motionball is proud to donate 70% of the funds raised from motionball Calgary events to Special Olympics Alberta. This funding is directed to support programs for local athletes in the community. 25% is directed to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation, whose mission is to ensure the long-term financial integrity of the Special Olympics movement in Canada and to fund long term athlete and volunteer growth. The remaining 5% will help grow the #NoGoodWay Campaign aiming to end the use of the R-word (retard) in everyday conversation. We’re encouraging Canadians to make the choice to eliminate the R-word from their vocabulary and empower them to take #NoGoodWay to their circles of influence.

motionball’s mandate is to introduce the next generation of volunteers and donors to the Special Olympics movement through integrated social and sporting events. motionball now hosts 50+ annual events across Canada. motionball is proud to have donated $20M to the Special Olympics Canada Foundation since our inception in 2002.
