CALGARY, Alberta, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rogers Communications announced today that it is donating $1 million to support children’s charities across Alberta as part of the Rogers Charity Classic.
“Every year the Rogers Charity Classic makes a monumental impact on communities, families and children in Alberta,” said Terrie Tweddle, Chief Brand and Communications Officer, Rogers. “We are proud to help bring this locally renowned event to life, and to continue supporting children’s charities across Alberta.”

“Our goal from day one for the Rogers Charity Classic was to bring a family-friendly professional sporting event to Calgary to support the many incredible children’s charities in our community,” said Jim Riddell, chair, Rogers Charity Classic. “Rogers has led the way in helping us achieve that goal and this generous donation is further proof that we are all committed to building on our legacy of giving.”
