National not-for-profit once again aims to raise
$1,000,000 to make
#EveryPlayCount
WINNIPEG, MB, Nov. 26,
2024 /CNW/ - KidSport is excited to announce the
launch of the thirteenth annual Give the Gift of Sport campaign
across Canada. The campaign will
run from November 25, 2024 to
January 6, 2025 with the support of
all 176 community KidSport chapters. The Give the Gift of Sport
campaign aims to inspire Canadians during the holiday season to
donate in support of breaking down financial barriers for more
children to play organized sport in 2025. Our goal once again this
year is to raise $1M during the
campaign thanks to the support of donors and corporate
partners.
"At KidSport we envision a Canada where all children have the opportunity
to participate in sport." said Greg
Ingalls, CEO of KidSport Canada.
"We believe sport to be a social development tool that teaches
children life lessons that can change the course of their lives.
Your support of our "Give the Gift of Sport" campaign is an
investment in the future of children in your community.
In 2023, the Give the Gift of Sport Campaign surpassed our goal
of $1M and raised an incredible
$1,030,655. Every donation helps us
make #EveryPlayCount and can contribute to making a major impact in
a child's life. With an average donation of $300 counting towards providing one child a full
season of sport - donating will last well beyond the holiday
season.
2023 was a record breaking year for KidSport by raising
$12,882,500 which converts to over
40K children assisted across the
country. This year, help us Give the Gift of Sport to make
#EveryPlayCount for all children across the country. To learn more
