The Surrey Firefighters Charitable Society is pleased to announce its partnership with the 14th-annual KidSport BC Charity Golf tournament at Morgan Creek Golf Course.
KidSport BC, which received a $3,000 donation, is a community-based sport funding program that provides grants for under-privileged children aged six to 18 to allow them to participate in a sport season of their choice.
“This meets one of our goals of serving the under-privileged youth in our community, and by partnering up with KidSport BC we are able to disperse funds appropriately through other organizations” said Todd Schierling, Surrey Fire Fighters Charitable Society director.
According to KidSport BC, more than one-third of children in Canada cannot participate in sport and recreational activity due to financial barriers.
Statistics show that children participating in sport do better in school and are more likely to continue with their education. Studies show that children participating in sport have improved health, make friends easier and feel better about themselves.
