UJAMAA GRANDMAS works in Calgary, Alberta, as part of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, to raise funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Our Founders started small but had big ambitions and our contributions continue to grow each year and with each event. To the end of 2016, proceeds from our fundraising events and direct donations have enabled us to contribute more than $1,024,314.94 to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
The following history of donations to the Foundation includes money directly from UJAMAA GRANDMAS Sales, Collections, General Events, Special Occasions, Stride and money from individual donors including Monthly Giving, Securities, In Memory/In Honour, Holiday Tributes
and money from Kazuri Jewelry sales. These numbers also include donations made by the group before the name UJAMAA GRANDMAS was made official.
