Cochrane Wolves are proud to report that KidSport is about to launch its 12th Annual Give the Gift of Sport campaign, and we believe your involvement can make a significant impact! This year we want to go BIG and raise $1 million to help break down financial barriers for children across Canada and the ability for less fortunate families to participate in sport. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to reducing the financial gap.
KidSport Calgary & Area has had a record-breaking year with over $2.2 million funded in registration fee grants and close to 16,000 pieces of equipment from the Calgary Flames Sports Bank going out the doors to deserving families! We are 100% community funded and supported. We raise dollars, run equipment drives, and are out and about connecting with the community year-round to support our fee assistance program, equipment needs and operations. As a charity, our goal is to continue making a long-lasting difference and consistently working towards more children having the opportunity to participate in sports such as Soccer!
Firstly, we wanted to share with you the incredible impact Soccer has had on the community this year alone!
