Presenting Sponsor
WINGS is proud to recognize our Presenting Sponsors: CanadaOne Auto, Waterloo Ford Lincoln, and Freedom Ford for their incredible commitment to WINGS and to our community.
This is the third year these dealerships have come together to support the WINGMAN Campaign, and once again they are going above and beyond to make an impact. Not only did they host this year’s WINGMAN photo shoot, they are also matching all donations up to $40,000 dollars. That means every gift made to the WINGMAN this year will go twice as far to help women and children rebuild their lives after family violence.
In their words:
“CanadaOne Auto and the Priestner Family are incredibly proud to once again stand as WINGMAN partners alongside the extraordinary WINGS team and the women and children they serve. Last year, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, and deeply grateful for what we accomplished together. This year, we want to keep going.
Every contribution helps WINGS provide safety, dignity, hope, and a path forward for women and children escaping intimate partner violence. We are incredibly proud to support that work, but we also recognize the heartbreaking reality that organizations like WINGS are still so desperately needed.
Ending intimate partner violence takes more than awareness. It takes people willing to stand up, speak out, and stand beside those who need us. We stood up last year. We’re standing up again this year, and we’re not done. We're in. Are you?”
We are deeply grateful to CanadaOne Auto, Waterloo Ford Lincoln, and Freedom Ford for standing with WINGS and helping us build a compassionate community free from violence.
Mayor Andrew Knack
We are incredibly honoured to welcome back Edmonton Mayor Andrew Knack as a WINGMAN. Having our city’s Mayor stand alongside Wings helps shine a light on the importance of ending family violence and reminds our community that we all have a role to play in creating safer futures.

Worley continues to be an incredible champion of Wings, showing their commitment to women and children impacted by family violence in so many meaningful ways.
From returning as WINGMEN and supporting our campaigns and events, to rolling up their sleeves through Worley’s Wings to help renovate and transform apartments for families at Wings, their team continues to find meaningful ways to make a difference.
This November, Worley will also return as the Presenting Sponsor of our 21st Annual Make Believe Ball, helping make one of Wings’ largest fundraising events of the year possible.
In their words:
“At Worley, taking a stand means turning our values into action. We are honoured to support the WINGMAN Campaign once again to amplify awareness, support women and children, and help create meaningful change in the communities where we live and work.”
