2024 Give the Gift of Sport Campaign Goal - $1,000,000
We hit $1M in 2023 - let's do it again in 2024! Give the Gift of Sport is an annual fundraising campaign to raise money to help all kids participate in organized sport. Each year, KidSport runs this national campaign from November to January to help get more kids off the sidelines and into the game the following year.
The Goal
In 2023, the Give the Gift of Sport Campaign surpassed our goal of $1M and raised an incredible $1,030,655. Every donation helps us make #EveryPlayCount and can contribute to making a major impact in a child’s life. With an average donation of $300 counting towards providing one child a full season of sport - donating will last well beyond the holiday season.
The Reality
The reality is 1 in 2 kids aren’t able to play sports due to financial barriers.
Through our fundraising efforts, more and more children are able to sign up and join their peers. Every dollar donated brings us one step closer to reducing the financial gap.
Do you remember that season when a tie felt like a win? Or when a coach gave a piece of advice that seems to stand the test of time? Those defining moments are special in life and there are kids who still haven’t experienced being part of a team.
The benefits of sport go beyond the pitch and shape their wellbeing in everyday life.
The Options
How you choose to donate is entirely up to you. You can select a chapter to make a direct impact in the community of your choice or support the national or provincial funds. Your generous contribution will make a lasting impression and for that we are sincerely grateful. You can also make a tribute donation in honour, memory, or celebration of someone.
The Details
Beginning November 25, 2024 to make #EveryPlayCount.
The same experiences you felt in sport growing up can be felt by children today with your help. Your donation will provide kids the opportunity to play, just like you did.
Your generosity can lead anywhere from a new skill to a medal.
