PAST EVENTS
WITH HER in 2024
Our May 23rd WITH HER event around Warrior Women was cancelled due to unforeseen scheduling challenges and circumstances beyond our control. Through the generous support of corporate sponsors, we were still able to support the Stardale Women’s Group, with approximately $18,000 in funds going towards the basic needs and betterment of young Indigenous women and girls.
A special Thank you to Long View Systems, Shell Canada, and others who supported this initiative.
WITH HER Fundraising in 2020-2023
In the face of the pandemic we focused on direct fundraising for various Alberta-based charities supporting girls and women, including:
The Safe Haven Foundation
NextSteps Ministries
We would like to thank the companies that stepped up to support these charities that do great work around ending violence against girls and women, whether that’s by helping keep girls off the streets or heal/support those who have been sex trafficked.
WITH HER of 2019
In November of 2019, WITH HER created a series of events, when we were moved to act towards building awareness of domestic violence and sex trafficking of women and girls, in honour of Jasmine Lovett and Aliyah Sanderson. Our dedicated volunteer committees planned a week of educational, meaningful, and engaging events.
We would like to thank those committee members, Dana Burrows, Rebecca Como, Bonnie Blankert, Marg Michaud, Christie Peters, and Laura Downing, along with Laura Hambley Lovett, Krista Hermanson, Karen Conway, and Natalie Heffernan, whose commitment ensured the success of all these events.
TRAFFICKING AWARENESS EVENT - NOVEMBER 14, 2019
WITH HER hosted an impactful evening to raise awareness among corporate professionals in Calgary about the horrific presence of sex trafficking in our own community. Conroy Kanter, producer of the film “TRAFFICKED”, delivered a powerful keynote address at the event. This SOLD-OUT event was held at the top of the prestigious Bow Building and raised significant funds for the RESET Society of Calgary.

Four film screenings were held from November 13-15, 2019, at various locations in Calgary including the Plaza Theatre, University of Calgary, Canyon Meadows Theatre, and for the Calgary Police Service. The screenings successfully raised awareness among a significant number of Calgarians.
