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

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

“It’s a lovely reflection of Owen’s generous spirit and a truly wonderful legacy for him,” said Martha Hart, whose husband Owen died in a wrestling accident in 1999.

The foundation’s funds support a wide range of causes: scholarships, food drives, backpack giveaways to students in need, and even foreign aid.

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

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