Just over two years ago Pheasants Forever launched its first-ever capital campaign, Call of the Uplands. 

As it turned out the timing could not have been better. We had just come off of 2020, where the pandemic virtually ended all event fundraising, which was our main source of revenue. That year was a record low for generating revenue. It was clearly time to pivot and Call of the Uplands provided the opportunity to do just that. 2021 came along and we were still unable to host events of any size and auctions were out of the question. We got busy, pursuing other sources of revenue such as grants and major gifts. Low and behold, without hosting events in 2021, we ended up with our best year to date in fundraising. In fact 2021 was our second biggest in 28 years!

In total, the Calgary Chapter raised $1.4 million dollars under the banner of Call of the Uplands in two short years. Today, we are proud and pleased to celebrate our Champions of the Uplands, who stood up and answered the call. 

Your commitment inspires us all to do more.  

Pheasants Forever Calgary is eager to grow its Champions of the Uplands. You have inspired us to do more. We will continue to seek support from individuals and companies moving forward within and outside of our events.
