Our Story

The Breaking Free Foundation (BFF) is a registered charity, and the brainchild of seven like-minded people who came together with a common goal to make an impact in the trauma community. We initially came together as a supportive group following the success of the first Victor Walk, which was an initiative created by Calgary Flames alumni, Theo Fleury back in 2013.

BFF was years in the making, after many hours of defining what the need was, and what we wanted our role to be. Some of us are trauma survivors, others are just hard-working supporters who want to make a difference in the community.

The name “Breaking Free Foundation” came to fruition because we felt that was the number one thing we wanted to accomplish, helping people break free from trauma. We recognize that trauma comes in many forms, and its effects are widespread and global. We hope to help others break free from trauma, and our charity will continue to evolve to support the people affected by trauma.
