Alberta Blue Cross is marking its 75th anniversary this year by continuing its legacy of giving back to Albertans through a new community wellbeing grant program. The ‘Community Wellbeing’ grant program will recognize 75 volunteers across the province with $1,000 awards in recognition of their contributions to promoting community wellbeing. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to where they volunteer. “Our lives are made better by volunteers who tirelessly dedicate their time to creating brighter, thriving communities. We believe these volunteers deserve to be celebrated,” says Brian Geislinger, vice-president of corporate relations and community engagement with Alberta Blue Cross. Ideal nominees are individuals who volunteer with organizations that promote the physical, mental, or social wellbeing of community members. Examples include senior’s associations, community groups, school councils, children’s activity organizations, and amateur sports teams. For information, visit Wellbeing grants. Nominations close June 30, with award recipients to be announced at the end of August.
