Guelph Soccer Receives Jumpstart Sport Relief Fund Grant

In September, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities announced an $8 million sport relief fund to help sport and recreation organizations continue to deliver programming in 2020 and beyond. 

As you may be aware, many community organizations have shut their doors due to the financial burden created by COVID-19, including lost revenue and increased program costs. Guelph Soccer has experienced the impact of the pandemic first-hand.  

We recently received confirmation that we are amongst 668 sport and recreation organizations nationally to be provided with grant support through Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund. We are beyond grateful to receive this news and know how positive an impact it will have on sport and recreation organizations, and ultimately, on kids across the country.

With Jumpstart’s support, we’ll be able to maintain gender specific programming throughout the Club, hire a female technical staff coach to help coach and mentor girls across our Club and continue with our She’s Got Game project.
