With the 2024 Paris Games less than 2 years away, now is the most crucial part of the journey. National Team rowers are putting in the hours and kilometers of training with the ultimate goal of being their best. Worrying about the cost of their next grocery bill makes training at such a high level more difficult. Our goal is to raise funds to fuel our athletes, alleviating the stress and distraction that comes with these food costs, allowing them to keep their eye on the prize.
This is where we need YOU, our community.
#SayOuiToParis
Today is Giving Tuesday and the launch of our #SayOuiToParis campaign! We need the help of our generous community to raise money and fuel our athletes on their journey to the Paris 2024 Games. Your donation will go directly towards supporting the ‘The Breakfast Program’ and ‘Grocery Card Program’ for our National Team athletes. It’s not only their mission, but the athletes’ dream to make Canada proud when competing on the world stage. Donate this Giving Tuesday to fuel the athletes and their dreams!
“The food card and breakfast program provide much needed support when training for the Games. Not only do these programs provide financial relief and nutritional support, but they provide emotional support. Knowing our rowing community is directly investing in us and our journey is extremely heartwarming and motivating. We feel our supporters with us every day thanks to these programs!”
– Jill Moffatt, National Team Rower, 2020 Olympian
