KidSport Give the Gift of Sport campaign ends January 8th

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Kidsport’s Give the Gift of Sport fundraiser, aiming to get more kids into sports, ends on January 8th, 2024.

All donations received by December 31st, 2023, will receive a 2023 tax receipt.

The funds go towards the registration fees for youth sports.

In 2022, KidSport chapters in B.C. distributed more than $1.7 million to fund a season of sport for 5,377 kids in 180 communities.

In the first three months of 2023, the number of approved grant applications totalled 6,231, a 16 per cent increase over 2022.

“We are seeing a significant increase in grant applications in comparison to the past couple of years, and donations are needed to ensure we can continue to meet the growing demand for support,” says Angela Crowther, KidSport BC’s Director. 

“We rely on donations from the public to ensure we can continue providing grants for kids in need.”

Information on the campaign can be found on KidSport’s website.
