TORONTO (June 22, 2023) –\u00a0LS7 s'engage pour une \u0153uvre de bienfaisance<\/a>, created by 2X Olympian Laura Stacey, is an annual road hockey tournament held in the Etobicoke neighbourhood where the Stacey Family resides. This event raises funds through sport participation in a unique road hockey tournament format, where individual sticks of all ages are drawn the morning of the event, and participants play alongside a number of Stacey’s teammates, other Women’s Hockey National Team Players, Paralympians, and lacrosse and swimming athletes, who serve as Captains for each team.<\/p>\n

This year’s event takes place this Samedi 24 juin 2023<\/b> from 9am-4pm at 39 Kingsgrove Blvd. in Etobicoke (Bloor St. W. and Royal York area) – further details at www.laurastacey7.ca<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

LS7’s mission from the very beginning has always been to help kids find their passion in sport, and to have fun and stay active. In order to support this mission, LS7 has chosen to donate all proceeds to KidSport Ontario as its charitable recipient for the second year in a row. Cost keeps 1 in 3 Canadian kids out of organized sport and KidSport provides grants to help cover sport registration and equipment costs to ensure that no kid is ever left watching from the sidelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The LS7 Sticks In For Charity tournament brings sport back to what matters – community, teamwork, and fun,” said Sara Restani, Program Manager at KidSport Ontario.<\/p>\n

“This is what KidSport wants all kids to experience, but too often financial barriers are keeping them on the sidelines. We continue to be grateful to Laura for including us in her tournament, allowing us to make sport accessible for so many kids across the province.”<\/p>\n

Since starting the tournament four years ago, LS7 has supported getting kids active in a variety of ways, originally through physical activity programs in elementary schools, then pivoted to raising money for a PPE donation to Sick Kid’s Hospital through its #reste en place<\/a> pendant la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19. Rien que l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re, LS7 a fait don de plus de $20 000 \u00e0 KidSport Ontario et est en passe de d\u00e9passer ce chiffre cette ann\u00e9e gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ses inscriptions \u00e0 guichets ferm\u00e9s, \u00e0 un programme d'\u00e9ducation \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 et \u00e0 un programme d'\u00e9ducation \u00e0 la citoyennet\u00e9. vente aux ench\u00e8res silencieuse<\/a> et une tombola sur place. Avec l'aide de la famille Stacey et de nombreux co\u00e9quipiers olympiques, coll\u00e8gues et athl\u00e8tes professionnels, LS7 Sticks in for Charity est pr\u00eat \u00e0 faire de l'\u00e9dition 2023 du tournoi la meilleure \u00e0 ce jour. Les ench\u00e8res silencieuses sont ouvertes jusqu'\u00e0 16 heures le samedi 24 juin 2023. 24 juin 2023.<\/p>\n

“We are really looking forward to the fourth annual LS7 Sticks In For Charity Road Hockey Tournament this Saturday and are excited to be working with KidSport again this year to further amplify our mission of providing all kids with opportunities to play sport!” says Laura Stacey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Whether it is getting out and being active, having fun with your friends or chasing a childhood dream, we want to give as many children the same opportunities that we were fortunate enough to have when we were young. Both Holly (my sister) and I were very fortunate to have parents who provided us with any and every opportunity sport had to offer, but not all kids have that chance. If we could give even one more child the opportunity to play a sport that that they might fall in love with, then we believe the LS7 Sticks in for Charity is a success!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

LS7 is an initiative started by 2X Olympian women’s hockey player, Laura Stacey, with a mission to provide all kids with opportunities to play sport and stay active. The LS7 Sticks in for Charity Road Hockey Tournament is an annual fundraiser that selects a charity aligned with its mission, and provides a unique opportunity for all ages to get active and have fun through playing hockey outdoors and meeting new people. It’s unlike other tournaments as players will sign-up and register individually, and on the day of the event, sticks will be “pulled” and teams will be made up of players of all different skill sets, abilities and hockey experience. Teams will include professional hockey players, Olympians, adults, and kids. Learn more at www.laurastacey7.ca<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees to kids aged 18 and under. Through a confidential application process, KidSport provides grants that enable kids to play a season of sport through assistance with sport registration fees and equipment costs. KidSport believes that the power of sport participation promotes the development of children’s social, mental, and physical wellbeing. Through increasing access to quality sport programs, KidSport strengthens communities across Canada.<\/p>\n\n\t\n
