The Millarville “Run To The Farmers’ Market” Half Marathon is pleased to partner with local, registered charities.
As you are guided through the registration process, consider donating to one or more of our partner charities and, better yet, join one of their fundraising teams of runners/walkers. If you’ve decided to lend a hand, it’s easy from there to direct friends, family and corporations to pledge your run, lending financial support to one of our associated worthwhile causes. No pledge sheets, no collecting of money. Use your Facebook and Twitter pages to gather help for your chosen cause.
Your hard work on race day can make a difference in your community.
We will be adding more charity names as we move forward so come back and check us out. You can associate your run with a charity later on, not just when registering.
If you would like your registered charity to be part of our “Run 4 A Cause” program in 2023, please contact us. We would love to help your worthwhile cause benefit from our race event.
Children’s Cottage Society is dedicated to building strong healthy children and safe nurturing families through prevention programs and support services. Since 1986, the Children’s Cottage Crisis Nursery has provided a 24/7 safe-haven where children can take a break from stressful situations and receive care while their parents get the help they need. We work with families to increase protective factors and decrease risk factors as a strategy to promote child development, effective and nurturing parenting, and to support and strengthen family functioning.
Asking for help is a sign of strength and encourage all families to reach out to us when they have nowhere else to turn. We have many programs to help during a difficult time.

Rowan House (Region 3 Family Based Care Society) is a short-term women’s emergency shelter located in the Foothills of Southern Alberta. Our mission is to provide crisis intervention, long-term support and education for those affected by family violence in rural communities. In doing so, Rowan House works to fulfill its vision: that every person is safe and secure, and lives without abuse.
The Foothills Land Trust (FLT) is a volunteer run, non-profit, non-government, community-based land trust with the mission of forever preserving open spaces, working landscapes and wildlife habitat within the Municipal District of Foothills, south of Calgary. We are committed to the permanent protection of our natural heritage and environment through the use of Conservation Easements and/or by direct land ownership. FLT was established in response to a growing recognition by local residents of the need to form a conservation land trust dedicated to the Foothills region. The MD of Foothills is under increasing developmental pressure and is vulnerable to considerable landscape fragmentation and loss of wildlife corridors. If you’d like to “Run 4 Our Cause” on June 15th, 2019 and help preserve our natural heritage and environment, contact us.
