Tomorrow, we are proud to be live on location with Up 99.3 at Trail Appliances AB SK south location. If you hadn't heard, Trail Appliances is matching donations this week up to an incredible $55,000 until Friday Feb 13!

Trail Appliances has supported the Foundation for decades, with a lifetime contribution of more than $1 million. Their generosity goes far beyond sponsorship. In 2025, Trail donated two CentriMag devices to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, advanced mechanical circulatory support systems that help patients with severe heart failure as they recover or wait for a heart transplant.

As Trail Appliances shared with us, is a time to shine a light on the life-saving work happening every day, to support education, and to remind the community just how vital cardiac care is. Their commitment reflects a deep belief in giving back and standing behind the people and teams who care for our community when it matters most.

We are incredibly grateful to Trail Appliances for their leadership, their partnership and their continued belief in stronger heart health for all. Tune in tomorrow (Feb 12) from 2pm-6pm on up! 99.3!
