TIDLUND FOUNDATION FUNDRAISER
What: An Enchanted Evening. Around 100 guests of the Mary A. Tidlund Charitable Foundation spent a beautiful evening in the Mission home of Calgary decorator Jerilyn Wright. Guests included volunteers who have travelled abroad on behalf of the foundation, donors and others who are considering jumping on board. What is the Mary A. Tidlund Charitable Foundation: Mary Tidlund learned at a young age how important it is to give and receive. At the age of seven, Tidlund was adopted by her Calgary parents and shared their love along with 40 other foster children. She saw first-hand the effects of generosity and selflessness. After organizing a number of worthy causes for Calgaryans to help children in other countries, she realized she could do more. The foundation was set up in 1998 and through it, Tidlund continues to give back what has been given to her. The foundation participates in medical and educational programs around the world from Guatemala to Angola, as well as in our own backyard.
