The Sport & Social Club strives to be community minded and will focus primarily on supporting local organizations. Whether the SSC is donating to a charity through fundraisers, team fees and/or equipment donations or by sponsoring an SSC member in their quest to raise money, we are committed to giving back to the community.

Our mission: The SSC will support our local communities and help others. We will work with and assist organizations with similar values and/or passions that have a direct positive influence on Calgarians/Edmontonians. In addition, we will reduce our impact on the environment by maximizing our efforts to lead by example, promoting ecological awareness by encouraging our players to become more conscientious and supporting various environmental actions and organizations. 

In 2009, the SSC introduced a Team Fee Donation Program, where $1 of every team fee collected will be donated on behalf of the team to a local charity selected by the SSC.
