Community Involvement
AltaCorp Capital employees enjoy a STARS facility tour, as a result of achieving 100% employee participation in the CEO Rescue in the Rockies.
On September 2, 2011, George Gosbee, along with 4 other prominent Calgary CEOs were stranded by a STARS helicopter in Kananaskis country. Using only their cell phones to collect donations, the CEOs earned their survival by remaining on the mountain until they raised $100,000 each, at which point they were rescued by STARS Air Ambulance.
The entire team of AltaCorp Capital employees campaigned throughout the day and assisted George in more than doubling his fundraising goal. AltaCorp is pleased to have been involved in this event which raised the single largest dollar amount ever in one day for STARS, with a record-breaking $1.3 million.
“Participating in this challenge was a privilege by knowing what we were able to accomplish together,” says George Gosbee, President and Founder of Altacorp Capital Inc. and event challenger, “We'd like to thank our family, friends and colleagues who generously donated funds to help ensure that STARS' emergency medical response services stay in the air as a valuable resource for our region.”
