Lots of money raised from the Stampede's "Hell or High Water" t-shirts:

The official “Hell or High Water” T-shirt sold like hotcakes and on Monday officials presented a cheque for $2.1 Million to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Flood Fund on behalf of the community.
“This was an unprecedented fundraising campaign for the Calgary Stampede,” said Vern Kimball, CEO of the Calgary Stampede. “We anticipated the campaign would be successful, however, we never anticipated presenting a cheque of this amount to the Canadian Red Cross. It is truly overwhelming.”
150,000 of the shirts were sold and the initiative was supported by a number of companies and individuals who donated their services, expertise and time to make the T-shirts and get them out to the public.
