Jerry Seinfeld returns to Calgary on Saturday, November 16 for two shows at the Jubilee Auditorium, and a local charity will reap the rewards.

Seinfeld appears on behalf of the Owen Hart Foundation, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

“It’s a nice reflection of Owen’s giving spirit and a really wonderful legacy for him,” says Martha Hart, whose husband Owen died in a wrestling accident in 1999.

Funds from the foundation support a wide range of causes: scholarships, food drives, backpack giveaways for needy students, and even foreign aid.

“We really love helping struggling kids and families, and of course our mandate is education, but we can fit a lot under that umbrella,” Hart says.

The charity also has an online auction as part of its fundraising efforts at www.hartauction.com.
