LET’S RAISE SOME MONEY FOR KidSport™!
Hi 306 family!
As a community we log countless hours in the gym and fully understand the benefits of physical activity. What we are able to accomplish in our hour at 306 each day not only benefits us physically but extends to our mental and emotional well being, allowing us to be happier and healthier versions of ourselves. The same goes for children!
KidSport™ is a charity I work closely with and fully believe in. The number of children within Saskatoon who are unable to participate in the sport activity of their choice is staggering. Statistics show that Saskatchewan’s child poverty rate is the third highest in the country. The primary barrier to participation in sport activity is economic circumstance. This is where KidSport™ comes in. KidSport™ is a children’s charity which assists children of families facing financial obstacles to participate in community sport programs so that all kids can play. The goal of KidSport™ is to provide these children with the opportunity to achieve physical, social, intellectual and moral development through participation in sport. If all children have the opportunity to play, learn self-respect, gain self-confidence, adopt active and healthy lifestyles, and realize dreams through sport, then these children may have a better chance of becoming contributing members and leaders in our communities. By encouraging the early development of physical activity habits KidSport™ will help to increase the probability that children within our community will become healthy actives adults. Every dollar donated to KidSport™ goes directly to helping a child get involved in sport. To date, KidSport™ Saskatchewan helped more than 100,000 kids participate in organized sport programs.
On Saturday May 3rd Mini and I will be participating in the KidSport™ Fun and Fitness Corporate Challenge to raise money for KidSport™ Saskatchewan. Each team entered is competing for points based on performance in each event and fundraising... With our CrossFit skills we’ve got the performance side down, what we need is your support fundraising. We are asking our wonderful 306 community to help us raise some funds so all kids can play. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated. 100% of the funds raised goes directly providing children and youth the opportunity to participate in organize sports. You can donate to us one of two ways. First you can visit our fundraising page, by clicking the link below, and either donate to me (Samantha Mitchell) or our team (MonStarz) or if you’ve got some spare change kicking around there will be a can set up for donation at the 306 front desk. Every little bit counts!
