KidSportTM Calgary

Adopt-An-Athlete Program

In 2010, $47,000 was raised through the Adopt-An-Athlete program. For only $300, companies Adopted-An-Athlete and put a kid in sports.. This money will go to cover costs like registration fees and equipment needs for children who otherwise couldn't afford to participate in their sport. KidSportTM Calgary also benefited from the 2011 Human Bonspiel.

Sport is an important component of a child’s physical and social development. However, the average cost to participate in sport continues to rise in Canada. In Calgary, the average cost of sport participation for a four-month period is around $300 per child. As a result, many families have no choice but to view sports as a luxury they simply can’t afford. KidSportTM Calgary exists to provide positive sport experiences to children from low-income families. We believe that sport is a powerful tool that can change a child’s life.

KidSportTM Calgary is a local children’s charity that raises money to pay registration fees and to provide sporting equipment to children from low-income families in Calgary and the surrounding communities. In 2010, KidSport Calgary distributed more than $600,000 to support 3000 local kids..
