The Kalix Legacy Foundation was created by the family of Kalix Langeneau by turning the likeable 19-year-old’s final youth coaching paycheque from Explosive Edge into the start of The Kalix Legacy Foundation.
The Foundation honours Kalix’s dream of helping financially challenged families cover the cost of program and training fees, as well as equipment costs, and help for kids who have lost a parent or sibling. The Foundation is able to cover anywhere from 50 to 100 per cent of the fees and equipment costs, depending on the program or training, the applicant’s financial situation, and funds currently available.
