Canadian Olympic Foundation’s Post

🌟 We're excited to share this conversation featuring Play for Dignity board member, Marco Di Buono, President of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, during his recent appearance on TVO's The Agenda with Steve Paikin. In this discussion, Marco highlighted the urgent need for systemic solutions to make sport accessible to all children. As Marco noted, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵... 𝘞𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘢, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺...𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤." We couldn't agree more. Play for Dignity was established to help find solutions to the systemic challenges faced by Canada’s sport and physical activity ecosystem. A systemic approach helps us to unpack why barriers persist, how they're interrelated, and how each part of the ecosystem can address these challenges. It is not enough to identify short-term fixes; we need a long-term strategy that enshrines the right to sport, play, and physical activity for all in Canada. We're excited to embark on this journey and invite you to join us! Stay connected by following us and signing up for our newsletter to be part of the conversation as we work together to identify systemic challenges and build solutions that make sport accessible for every child. 💪🏽 #RightToPlay #YouthSports #HumanRights #PlayForDignity #SportsForAll #EquityInSports

🎾 Calling all tennis fans! 🎾 If you're a #tennis enthusiast, add the #Miami Open to your must-see list. It offers a fantastic opportunity to witness the world's top players battling it out in a breathtaking venue while immersing yourself in the exhilarating atmosphere of one of the most significant tournaments on the tennis calendar. Read all about it here: https://hubs.ly/Q02nWQBj0 The Miami Open, being a prestigious tennis tournament and major social event, attracts a significant number of high-net-worth individuals from around the world. This influx of #wealthy individuals brings about a positive impact on the local #economy, as they contribute to increased spending on #luxury goods, services, and #RealEstate. It's worth noting that this connection primarily focuses on the event's economic influence on Miami, rather than its implications on #taxation. It's not uncommon for high-net-worth individuals attending the Miami Open to also take part in #philanthropic events or make generous #donations to #charities connected to the tournament. This act of giving not only makes a positive impact but may also provide potential tax deductions based on individual circumstances and relevant #TaxLaws. #MiamiOpen #LuxurySports #Sports

Some food for thought as you watch the amazing athletes at the Olympics this year. "In a survey of about 1,000 American athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic pipelines, 26.5% reported individual incomes under $15,000 a year." We love watching our country's athletes compete on the world stage, but remember that most are 1) not receiving extra $$$ from the big media and corporate endorsement $$, and 2) even if they get a boost in the Olympic weeks, they've gone through YEARS of hard work and struggle to get there. At Spid Werkz Foundation, we are here to help extraordinary athletes bridge financial and support gaps. With help from you, we can change the story for future athletes and use sport for good across the world! Please consider a tax deductible donation to support Olympic and Paralympic athletes! https://lnkd.in/eqacx6-2

As most of you will know, Streatham-Croydon R.F.C. is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the world. Despite our legacy, we are sadly facing a multitude of challenges on all fronts, which has culminated in a serious financial situation. Without significant support, we could be forced to close our doors for good. We are proud to operate in an area of south London not always known for its rugby. We’re an inclusive, diverse club, offering free Easter and summer holiday camps to hundreds of local children, and provision of pitches free-of-charge for local schools that have no playing fields and to a wide variety of community groups. Our ambition and grit can be seen across every section of the club. Highlights from this season include: Men - The 1st XV have had a brilliant season achieving promotion to Counties 3, their 2nd promotion in 3 years. The 2nd XV Scorpions continue to grow, and training numbers remain high each week. Women - The Ladies 1st XV finished 2nd in their first season in Championship 2 (tier 3 of women’s rugby in the country). The Ladies 2nd XV have made history and completed their first season in a league, with many picking up a ball for the first time in 2023/24. Juniors - The Junior section is thriving; the U18 Colts are getting off the ground, and there is growth across the junior boys, junior girls (soon to play at the Stoop!), and minis sections. Why we need your help: Like other clubs, the cost of living crisis has hit us hard and our utility bills have skyrocketed. Kit, ground maintenance, coach training, clubhouse maintenance expenses, post-game food - all of this has become an increasing challenge. How you can help: We are in desperate need of a short-term fix and this is where your help is key. If you are able to donate - £10, £50, £100,  £200, £500, £1,000 – this will all add up to our target of £20,000 to keep the club running. Donate via the link today to help us keep rugby accessible to those who need the game the most! https://lnkd.in/gFZTScw8
