KidSport sets $1 million goal for national fundraising campaign
With a goal of raising over a million dollars Canada wide, KidSport has launched the 14th annual Give the Gift of Sport campaign.
Supported by all 176 KidSport community chapters, the campaign that runs until Jan. 4, 2026, encourages Canadians to make a meaningful difference this holiday season by helping break down financial barriers for children seeking to play organized sport in 2026.
“At KidSport, we envision a Canada where all children have the opportunity to participate in sport,” said Greg Ingalls, CEO of KidSport Canada. “We believe sport is a powerful tool for social development — one that teaches life lessons and can change the course of a child’s life. Your support of our Give the Gift of Sport campaign is an investment in the future of children in your community.”
In 2024, the Give the Gift of Sport campaign exceeded its $1 million goal and raised $1,457,760. With an average donation of $300 covering the cost of one child’s season of sport, every contribution has a lasting impact well beyond the holiday season.
