SPORT ASSIST helps local kids whose families can’t afford it get involved in sports. Organized sports teach the importance of teamwork, discipline, and the importance of striving for goals. Another positive is kids involved in sports have a lot of fun and make friends that last a lifetime. It’s been proven over and over again that kids who play sports are more likely to make a positive difference in their community and succeed later on in life, and everyone wins in that scenario.
That’s why I made $3,000 from the Mayor’s Annual Charity Golf Tournament available to get the program started. It was great to see Gerry St. Cyr, who operates City Centre Park, get involved by organizing an annual golf tournament that raised $15,000 this summer. That’s going to help a lot of kids play a variety of sports. The success of Canadian athletes in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics show what can happen when you give someone an opportunity they may not have had otherwise.
