Spike it BIG for Junior Athletes!

In this day and age, there are numerous barriers that can deter kids from participating in sport, or ever discovering their passion for athletics. Whether the barrier is financial, physical or social, our Junior Athletes team is determined to support families that need assistance.

On Saturday, May 17, ‘Spike it Big!’ Sand Volleyball FUNdraiser will hit the RA courts. The tournament will raise money for the Junior Athletes program, ensuring that more low-income families have access to its programs. 

“Sports have had a huge impact on my life in many ways,” reflects Noah Bélanger, founder of the Junior Athletes program. “Not every child gets the chance to discover their love for sport, so we’re doing our part to create as many opportunities as possible.”

The goal of the fundraiser is to cover the program costs for 10 children to attend a Junior Athletes program of their choice, enabling access for families who, otherwise, would be unable to afford it. When we create opportunities for kids to access sport, we change lives. Participation fosters physical and mental well-being, boosts self-esteem, and strengthens social skills.

It’s time to break down barriers – one spike at a time!
