A Pearl Anniversary: Celebrating 30 Years of Impact
In 2026, we honour Calgary Health Foundation’s 30 years of advancing care, innovation, and community well-being. This Pearl Anniversary becomes the heart of our creative story: reflecting resilience, transformation, and the beauty that emerges under pressure. Just as a pearl forms through time and intention, so has Calgary Health Foundation’s legacy: three decades of supporting breakthroughs, elevating patient care, and strengthening the health of our city. Next year’s event weaves that symbolism into every detail—a luminous tribute to the past and an inspired call to shape the next 30 years.

Our 2026
Co-chairs
The Big Ball is honored to be guided by two exceptional community leaders whose passion for generosity is the very foundation of this event: Mr. Bill Brooks and Mrs. M. Ann McCaig.
Mr. Bill Brooks' legacy is extraordinary. What began as a fundraiser with a good friend, inspired by a personal loss, grew into the iconic Bill Brooks Prostate Cancer Benefit, raising nearly $10 million over 19 years. That incredible success and spirit of generosity transitioned into The Big Ball we know today.
Mrs. M. Ann McCaig's commitment to community, has made lasting contributions to Calgary, the province and Canada, particularly in post-secondary education and advocating for children and youth. As Ann points out, her family taught her: "if you wanted something, you did it yourself. You raised the funds and had fun doing it."
We are thrilled to celebrate the past, advance the present, and invest in the future of healthcare with Bill and Ann leading the way.
