Celebrating KidSport Week – From Coast to Coast to Coast
KidSport is excited to launch our annual awareness campaign, KidSport Week on Monday, May 24, 2021! This week long celebration of all things KidSport will put the spotlight on the work our 166 local chapters are during this unprecedented time, and help raise awareness of our program from coast to coast to coast.
Throughout the week across Canada, we’ll be celebrating all things KidSport by highlighting our work over the last year, promoting our key partners and sponsors, as well as encouraging donations from all Canadians to help make it So ALL Kids Can Play!
Why do we do it? Because we believe through the power of organized sport, we enable kids and our communities to come together and thrive.
How Can You Get Involved? Donate your jersey number!
Share your sport story during KidSport week while challenging others to do the same. Donate the dollar value of your jersey number or another number that has significance in your sport life – like the most points you scored in a basketball game, or the number of years you competed in your sport! Share your contribution through social media, tagging our social accounts (found below), the hashtags #KidSportWeek #jersey #challenge, as well as your former teammates, coaches, and friends to get them involved! You can even direct your donation to support a local child in your community. By donating to KidSport you’re contributing to a movement which has been helping Canadian kids chase their sporting dreams since 1993.
