Thanks to the generous support of people just like you, the Cerebral Palsy Association in Alberta (CPAA) helped over 1,000 Albertans through special needs initiatives, counseling, funding, recreation and educational programs in 2003.

Planned Gift

A planned gift is a special gift for the future. You may choose to include a gift to the CPAA in your estate or financial plan that will be actualized at a later date. There are many options such as bequests, gifts of life insurance, charitable remainder trusts, gift plus annuity, gifts of residual interest or gifts of stock options, transfer of shares, stocks or mutual funds as well as gifts of property.

The Clothing in Motion Collection Crew turns your donation of gently used clothing and small household items into revenues that support the many programs and services made available to Albertans affected by cerebral palsy.

Donors have the opportunity to donate with convenience through our residential home pick up program or at any of the 43 clothing bins located throughout Alberta.

Clothing bins are located in Edmonton, Calgary, and surrounding areas. The list of clothing bins nearest you can be found here.

By donating to the Collection Crew, you can be part of the success of keeping 3 million pounds of clothing annually, from ending up at Alberta landfills while supporting and enriching the lives of people affected by cerebral palsy.

“Go Green” Recycling Program

In Alberta, recycling is the most effective way to leave healthy “footprints” on our environment for generations to come. Now your recycling efforts can help support the many valuable programs and services offered by the Cerebral Palsy Association in Alberta.

Recyclable items such as cell phones:

	Are generally disposed of within 18 months
	Contain hazardous materials which contribute to global pollution
	75% of Alberta households have cell phones
	By the summer of 2008 over 2.5 million cell phones could be unnecessarily disposed of in our Provincial landfills.

The “Go Green” recycling program introduces a fantastic way to recycle home and office materials. Cell Phones, Ink Jet Cartridges, PDAs and Laptops can now be collected in one single “Go Green” collection box.

At no cost to you or your business, a light weight collection box will be delivered, and once the box is full, pick up is only a phone call away! A member from CPAA will come out, collect the box and leave a replacement box in its place. The use of these collection boxes assist in the redirection of unnecessary waste from our landfills, reduce methane gas emissions and conserve our natural resources.

Revenues from “Go Green” will go towards funding valuable programs within the province and help to create a “Life without Limits” for Albertans affected by cerebral palsy and other disabilities.

For more information or to request a “Go Green” collection box, please contact by email marianne@cpalberta.com or call (780)477-8030 toll free 1-888-477-8030
