For the fifth year, Campbell Company of Canada will be a supporter of KidSport, which works to remove the financial barriers that prevent those under 18 from participating in sports and aid in efforts to develop children’s social, mental and physical well-being through physical activity.
With its $50,000 donation, Campbell Company of Canada’s contribution will further the charity’s ability to put more kids in athletic programming and overcoming barriers of registration and equipment costs. The cross-country benefit is seen in the 166 local and provincial/territorial chapters across the country, with over 100 eligible sports.
