🪖Two weeks ago I put on a new hat! 🪖 Fundraising manager. NEVER something I’ve done before or wanted to do. I don’t think of myself as very salesy but I absolutely love this project so surely people will buy into the vision? The things I’ve learnt in my first two weeks of this new and voluntary role… 💰It is really exciting when the money starts rolling in! 👯♀️Without amazing friends, you’d be nowhere. 📖Most people don’t read stuff. Which is hard when you’ve tried to be clear, open and transparent. ❓Answering questions and not getting annoyed about the people who don’t read stuff is key. See the answers as another opportunity to get your point across. ☹️Not everyone you expected to help will help even when they absolutely should. 🏝️You can’t do it all on your own so be honest and ask for help. What am I going on about? 🏐I am doing community fundraising for my local park project to regenerate netball and basketball courts. I was asked (by my mum) what I’ll do if I don’t get the money… my answer was “I will get the money” I truely believe that. It will happen, so please come and be part of the journey, donate what you can because even if this project isn’t near you, if it works it could be replicated near you one day. #netball #fundraising #localpark #basketball #victoriapark https://lnkd.in/eTACZ8Xk

These sessions are led by qualified coaches and volunteers and includes mentoring program where local school students build positive relationships with participants, aiding their life skills development and providing mentors with valuable experiences. Our donation will allow for the scheme to continue to provide this opportunity for the local community.

Our Executive Director of Canada SCORES Toronto Nick Taylor (He/Him) shares his thoughts on this recent interview led by Steve Paikin on his show The Agenda. Initially Nick was drawn in due to the topic, and ultimately kept watching due to the high value content being discussed by three folks in the business, sport and cause communities that Nick has met and respects for their contributions - Marco Di Buono , Bruce Kidd and Dan Cardoza. As a nonprofit organization in the youth development space, Canada SCORES Toronto launched in the GTA in 2024, but has 30 years of history behind it across North America through America SCORES and 10 years under the Canada SCORES banner in Vancouver. The organization was initially founded througha 1994 FIFA World Cup Legacy Program Fund. Canada SCORES is one of the emerging community programs that Marco mentions towards the end of the panel discussion that delivers programs for FREE. In fact, we deliver our FREE after school programs in partnership with local schools, where according to Bruce, his friends at the Toronto District School Board TDSB say they are no longer able to deliver the comprehensive curriculum for phyisical activity within their schools. Given that current statistics sugest that 58% of parents say financial constraints are limiting their ability to keep kids in activities, programs such as Canada SCORES can fill a vital gap in our schools and communities to ensure an includive, safe, fun and "whole child" focus curriculum and programs are available to support the well being and social emotional development of children and youth. We should pay attention to Bruce's words when he sugests Gordie Howe would never make the NHL today as he would not fit into the "class" system that exists around the current professionalized youth sport sector. How many children may never realize their dreams of playing and competing in sport because of financial barriers to entry? We should also note what Marco shared when he said that an investment of only $1.00 can result in $13.00 of savings in the form of reduced health care costs to the system and a recution in youth justice expenses. Can you think of a better way to invest a dollar? If you can, consider making a gift to Canada SCORES. You can support the impact of our work that has been building for 10 years in Vancouver, and is about to launch this Fall in the Greater Toronto Area. https://lnkd.in/eWBrp_V At Canada SCORES, we believe we can be part of the solution to the problems called out by these three sector leaders. We welcome interested folks to reach out to our Execeutive team leaders in Toronto and Vancouver with any questions you may have about how you can make an impact in the lives of vulnerable children and youth. #CanadaSCORES #CanadaSCORESTO #CanadaSCORESVan #AmericaSCORES #YouthDevelopment #SocialEmotionalLearning #Sport #Recreation #BarrierFreeSport #JumpStart #YMCA #Donate #Support #Soccer #Poetry #Community

On #givingtuesday I am asking my network to consider giving to the US Women's Rugby Foundation (a non-profit organization run by all volunteers). The USWRF is committed to the growth of Girl’s and Women’s Rugby through the advancement of Coaches, Referees, and Administrators. These are the leaders and the influencers of our rugby community. We need these strong and smart rugby girls and women in our construction industry. We have 3% women in trades that get asked everyday why construction?... just like we are asked, why rugby? Where your money goes... to date we have paid for over 100 coach and referee certifications, as well as travel grants to participate in immersive learning and mentoring opportunities like for Carolyn Roach, M.Ed. This year we also payed for travel and childcare assistance for Kittery Ruiz, Head Coach the USA Rugby U20’s European Tour summer of 2024 to be able to travel with her daughter and not have to choose to be either a coach or a mom. The stats - Research shows that female executives are more likely to have played sports than those in non-leadership roles and are more likely to hire other women who have played a sport. 📊 74% of female execs believe playing sport can help accelerate a woman's career potential 🏅 The top three leadership skills developed by sport include: the ability to see projects through completion, motivational skills, and team-building ✅ 52% of C-suite executives played sport at university level or above https://lnkd.in/e87nVjSc #queenofprefab ❤️👑👠#rugbymom #donate #womenssports Lisa Kelly Danita Knox Amy Shopkorn MaryBeth Mathews Mary Money Jennifer Stratton Patti Matheny Joel Hutchines Larysa Santiago Cora Bales Andrea Brankin Andrea Hovey

Youth sports, especially high school sports, allow a platform for young adults to learn some valuable life lessons. How to contend with adversity, learn leadership skills, conflict resolution, the value of hard work, being fruitful in your role(whatever that is), team building, rising from failure and handling success. It’s the main reason I enjoy coaching so much within a sport I played and love. Any funds raised from this silent auction will help these kids in that endeavor. To not only be better players, but better people. #RangerPride https://lnkd.in/gy_6RZ7w
