Hi Warriors!,
In September, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities announced an $8 million sport relief fund to help sport and recreation organizations continue to deliver programming in 2020 and beyond.
As you may be aware, many community organizations have shut their doors due to the financial burden created by COVID-19, including lost revenue and increased program costs. The West Ottawa Soccer Club has experienced the impact of the pandemic first-hand.
We recently received confirmation that we are amongst 668 sport and recreation organizations nationally to be provided with grant support through Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund. We are beyond grateful to receive this news and know how positive an impact it will have on sport and recreation organizations, and ultimately, on kids across the country.
With Jumpstart’s support, we will be able to allocate these funds into our athlete assistance fund which enables kids of any and all minorities to continue playing soccer during this unprecedented time.
If you have any questions and/or are interested in connecting on this announcement, please do not hesitate to reach out to Hank Shannon (events@wosc.com) or Brian Mason (gm@wosc.com).
