This may be slightly unrelated but I always wondered what portion of the Flames Foundation proceeds actually come from the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corp.? Obviously, they deserve credit for organizing and putting on the various events to raise money for the foundation but it would seem the majority of the funds raised come from those who attend these events ie. pay to play in the golf tournaments, attend the casino etc. Do the Flames match
or contribute any money to the actual charity? It just seems a little shallow to raise the money from others, and then donate it and say look at us.
