Durabuilt is returning as the presenting sponsor of 630 CHED Heart Pledge Day this year.

Durabuilt Windows & Doors was established in 1988 and is a Western Canada-focused, family operated direct manufacturer – your windows and doors are made here in Edmonton from start to finish, custom for you. They are proud to be home grown – and are recognized both nationally and internationally.

Durabuilt Windows & Doors was a founding donor of the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute – the Sunner family was instrumental in leading the campaign for the development of the Guru Nanak Healing Garden.

Rosenau Transport is the proud sponsor of the Heart Wall – where donors have their name displayed once they have made a donation for Heart Pledge Day. This year, for the first time – there is a digital heart wall. Donors can make a donation and see their heart on our website.

Rosenau Transport is Western Canada’s largest privately-owned shipping services carrier.

The Rosenau family has a long history of giving back to their community – especially to organizations close to their hearts.

They are long-time supporters of the University Hospital Foundation, supporting initiatives like Festival of Trees in addition to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute.

Personal Experience at the Maz

The Rosenau family has a personal connection to the Maz.

Carl Rosenau, Ken’s father, had a heart attack in 2010.

While the 630 CHED Heart Pledge Day was broadcasting live from the 2nd floor of the Maz, Carl was undergoing life-saving surgery just one floor up. Friends and family members of Carl began to call in and make donations to show their support.
