SaskAbilities has been doing incredible work in our community for so many years, and I’m grateful to continue supporting them again this year through the Ability Bowl.

It’s a great event with an even greater purpose—creating opportunities, inclusion, and support for individuals of all abilities.

Always proud to be part of a community that shows up for one another.

If you’re able, it’s a wonderful cause to get behind 💫

When you sign up a team, you are bowling as a champion of inclusion and helping provide programs and services for local individuals experiencing disability completely FREE OF CHARGE.

So Swift Current, are you ready to roll? 🎳
Gather your coworkers, friends, family or that one person who takes bowling way too seriously and register a team, or consider making a donation!

We are incredibly grateful to Paterson Grain and the Swift Current Broncos for selecting SaskAbilities as one of the charities supported through Goals for Charity!

Living in a community like Swift Current, where organizations step up to give back and champion inclusion, means so much to us. Your support helps create opportunities for the individuals we serve and reminds us just how powerful community can be.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission and the people we support. 💚

🎉 Goals for Charity – Powered by Paterson Grain 🎉

All season long, Paterson Grain has been making every Hudson Darby goal count — literally! Through the Goals for Charity program, Paterson Grain pledged $100 for every goal scored by Broncos forward Hudson Darby, helping raise thousands of dollars in support of local Swift Current charities. 🙌

As a leader in agriculture and a proud partner of the Broncos, Paterson Grain — alongside the Paterson Family Foundation — presented $1,000 cheques to each of the following incredible community organizations:

❤️ The Swift Current Salvation Army
💙 SaskAbilities
💜 Southwest Crisis Services

A big thank you to Steven Nelson, General Manager of Grain at Paterson, for presenting the donations on behalf of Paterson Grain.

We were also honoured to have representatives from each organization on hand to accept the cheques:
