$3.2M gift given to Community Foundation of Lethbridge & Southwestern Alberta

Passionate about youth in the region, a Lethbridge couple, who both passed in 2024, are continuing their commitment through an endowment fund.

Monday morning, the Community Foundation of Lethbridge & Southwestern Alberta (CFLSA) announced a gift of almost $3.2 million from Dr. David and Mrs. Shirley Hughes.

In a prepared statement, foundation executive director Charleen Davidson said, for the Hughes, it wasn’t about recognition.

“There were firm believers that to whom much has been given, much is expected,” Davidson said during the announcement of the legacy.
