About the Charities

Environmental Artworks
Foundation of Alberta
The Environmental Artworks Foundation of Alberta (EAFA) is a charitable organization affiliated with The Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESAA). ESAA has been dedicated to serving the environmental service industry in the province of Alberta and increasing awareness of environmental issues in Alberta since 1987. ESAA feels strongly that it is important for businesses to give back something to the community that they are a part of, therefore, EAFA was established in late 2004. EAFA present an annual contest in Alberta's school system to promote environmental awareness in Alberta. For more information visit:

Ilsa Mae Chowaniec Research Fund c/o Muscular Dystrophy Canada
In late 2005, the Chowaniec family and the Environmental Services Association of Alberta (ESAA), through MDC created the ILSA MAE RESEARCH FUND. This fund has the specific goal of supporting SMA research in Canada. Money raised for Muscular Dystrophy Canada at ESAA Events are donated to this fund. Since the inception of the fund, nearly $52,000 has been raised and since 1998, ESAA Members and the environment industry have raised over $70,000 to support the initiatives of MDC.
