The Magic of Christmas: 12 Days of Giving

The Magic of Christmas

The holiday season is all about giving, and at Aspire Wealth Partners, we are thrilled to continue our tradition of the 12 Days of Giving in 2025

In place of sending Christmas cards, we are embracing a tradition that reflects our core values and commitment to the Calgary community. Over 12 days, every other business day leading up to Christmas, and then daily during Christmas week, we will spotlight a charity chosen by one of our team members. Each organization holds personal meaning and embodies the true spirit of giving back. To support their important work, each featured charity will receive a minimum donation of $1,000. Together, we celebrate a season of gratitude, generosity, and community impact.

On the last day of giving, Michael Pate, Craig Baun, Darren Cooper, Paul Duff, and Brent Koskimaki, proudly nominated The Magic of Christmas.

“With the continued economic challenges and rising costs of living that many families in our community are facing, we wanted to once again highlight a very special and timely charity—The Magic of Christmas,” shared Mike, Craig, Darren, Paul, and Brent. “To us, the true magic of Christmas is something that lives within each of us—when we take a moment to reflect with gratitude on how fortunate we are and extend that kindness to others.”

We had the opportunity to meet Scott and his dedicated team a few years ago and tour their operation. We were truly inspired by the energy, compassion, and organization behind what they do—transforming city buses into sleighs of hope, loaded with gifts and holiday cheer for families in need. It’s an honour to continue supporting the important work they do each year.

“When we help others, when we serve others, we are also helping ourselves,” the team added. “The volunteers who decorate and deliver these gifts receive their own kind of present—the warmth of knowing they’ve made a real difference in the life of another person or family. That spirit of giving, that feeling of connection, is what we believe to be the true magic and joy of Christmas.”

Thank you so much for following along on our LinkedIn page and our website as we highlighted a new charity every business day.

From the entire team at Aspire Wealth Partners, we wish you and your family a very happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
