Apr 7, 2011 | 10:39 AM

Right now at the Canadian Tire Store in Prince Albert, you can buy a Hersey Bar and 5 cents from every bar sold is donated to help raise funds for the Jumpstart® Program. Get one for the team!

Canadian Tire Jumpstart® is a charitable program that helps kids in financial need participate in organized sports and recreation such as soccer, dance, hockey and swimming. Jumpstart® funds may be applied to cover the costs of registration & equipment for up to $300/ child per session for youth aged 4 to 18 years for families of youth that otherwise couldn’t afford to participate in sport and recreation opportunities.

Participation in sports and recreation increases a child’s chance of success in life through:

– A healthier lifestyle

– Increased self-esteem and confidence

– The opportunity to learn important leadership skills

– Improved school performance and future education expectations

– More positive relationships and strengthened support networks

What can you do to help? Whether it’s through a donation, purchasing Jumpstart® merchandise at your local Canadian Tire Store or organizing an event in your community, there are many ways you can help Canadian kids in financial need get active. Call Kristy at 953-1623 ext. 3 or email: kristy.ldscr@sasktel.net if you have any questions about the Canadian Tire Jumpstart® Chapter in Prince Albert.
