Our 2026 Charities

In 2015, at just 22 years of age, Lindsey More lost her courageous battle with depression. Her loss left a profound void - but also sparked a mission. Determined to turn heartbreak into hope, her parents Rick and Cindy created the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation to support young people facing mental health struggles.

In 2024 Lindsey's legacy was honoured through the naming of the AHS Lindsey More Youth Mental Health and Addiction Hub at the Sheldon Kennedy Center of Experience, a place dedicated to healing, understanding, and second chances.

In the past decade, Smiles has provided over $175,000 for programs supporting our youth.  Learn more about the Smiles Thru Lindsey Foundation HERE.

KidSport Red Deer and County is a local chapter of KidSport Alberta.

In 2025, funds donated by Papp Charitable Foundation to KidSport went to helping 67 kids in over 14 different sports by covering a portion of their registration fees. All kids funded live in the Red Deer and County area. 

KidSport provides grants to help with the costs of registration fees so that all kids aged 18 and under can play a season of sport. 

All funds raised help to ensure KidSport is able to continue providing support for families in need. 100% of the funds stay in the local funding area.  Learn more about KidSport HERE.
