KidSport™ So all kids can play!
The KidSport™ Fund is the charitable arm of Sport BC that is designed to remove the financial obstacles that prevent some children from playing sports. Grants to individual athletes are given to children whose families cannot afford sport registration fees and would otherwise not be able to participate in a season of sport.
At KidSport™ they believe that no child should be left on the sidelines. They offer an opportunity for children to participate in the sport of their choice, in their own community, by providing grants to cover the registration fees of a season of organized sport.
All applications are kept strictly confidential, and most children do not know that they have received funding. Since its inception in 1993, KidSport™ has raised over $2 million, and assisted over 20,000 children between the ages of six and 18. In 2005 KidSport™ increased the number of grants 35% over the previous year, thanks to new community chapters and additional corporate partnerships.
For more information or an application visit the “KidSport” website.
