Dear Friends,

Please join the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in supporting youth through Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities.

Since, 2016, the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, with the generous support from Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, has helped over 1,500 youth from Scarborough participate in two community programs, Learn to Train and Girls in Sport, in a safe environment at the Centre. Both programs help youth facing financial barriers access physical and health literacy training that helps them learn new skills, build confidence, and boost their self-esteem.

Girls in Sport is a new community program that was created to address a need identified by physical education teachers in high schools who have difficulty keeping girls in sports and physical education. It was also created in response to research which showed that barriers exist in sport that are causing 1 in 3 girls to drop out by adolescence. The program helps remove those barriers by building their physical competence skills and confidence, so they become inspired and knowledgeable to engage in sports and physical activity, for life.

November 29, 2022, is #givingtuesday. Please consider donating to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities because one hundred percent of the money donated goes to help give kids a sporting chance. That means any donations made through your online donation not only benefit children located near and around the facility but provide opportunities at the Centre as well.

Please hit the “donate” button to make a secure online donation and give kids a sporting chance.

Thanks for your support,

Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre
