Jeff Bowling began volunteering with Make-A-Wish Southern Alberta three years ago when he joined the organization’s Fundraising Committee.

Fast forward to today, where Jeff – in partnership with Canadian Western Bank (CWB) – now plays a significant role in Make-A-Wish Southern Alberta’s newest fundraiser event: Rope for Hope.

A royal entourage of well-wishers gathered at the Calgary Airport at 6:00am on Tuesday, April 29 to give an official send-off to Wish Child, Tiana. Tiana was recently the happy recipient of the news that Make-A-Wish Southern Alberta would grant her wish of meeting Princess Tiana at Walt Disney World® Resorts. Tiana’s royal welcome at the airport started when she and her family stepped out of the limousine and were met by a prince and a court of princesses. This was Tiana’s magical send-off as her Wish Day came true and she flew to Orlando, Florida.
