We Want to Hear Your Magic of Christmas Story!
Every year, The Magic of Christmas comes alive through the dedication, love, and kindness of our volunteers. Behind every delivery, every smile, and every hug, there’s a story worth telling—and we want to share yours. We believe the most moving way to explain our mission is through the voices of our volunteers— YOU! Your joy, your experiences, and your moments of connection don’t just inspire, they help others believe in the Magic of Christmas and continue to support our cause.
📹 To bring these stories to life, we’re inviting volunteers—past and present—to join us at the warehouse for a special storytelling recording session. Our videographer will capture your story so we can share it at the gala, and later through media interviews, social channels, and future events.
When & Where:
📍 The Magic of Christmas Warehouse (4216 54 Ave SE)
📅 September 7the
🕑 Drop-in times: 3pm – 6pm
Can’t make it that weekend? Don’t worry—we can also arrange an individual online recording session upon request. We can’t wait to hear from you. ❤️

Last year marked our inaugural Magic of Christmas Charity Gala—a truly special evening that exceeded all expectations. The event received resoundingly positive feedback from attendees, many of whom asked us when the next gala would be held. We are pleased to share that, in response to that enthusiastic support, the gala is returning for its second year.
The gala will bring together supporters, potential new donors, and community leaders who share our vision of making the holiday season brighter for Calgary families in need. We hope you will join us for an evening of connection, celebration, and meaningful impact.
We are immensely grateful to our generous sponsors whose support makes this extraordinary event possible. These valued partners share our commitment to delivering the Christmas spirit into the homes and hearts of those who need it most and inviting everyone to believe again in the true magic of the season.
