What is Jumpstart?
Jumpstart is a Canadian organization that
helps children get involved with sports by
removing financial barriers.
Why is Jumpstart important?
Some children dream to be professional
athlete and they cant do that if their family
cant afford the expenses, so that is where
Jumpstart comes in and that is why it is
important.
Jumpstart Mission Statement
To provide financially disadvantaged children
(4-18 years old) in Canada with the
opportunity to participate in sports and
recreational activities.

When and why Jumpstart was
developed
Jumpstart was developed in 2005 to address
the ongoing need in our communities to make
physical activity a priority in the lives of
Canadian children
Jumpstart funding/donations
Canadian Tire Jumpstart raises a certain
number of funds nation wide, they then take
those funds and divide them amongst the
communities that exist within Canada
The money raised by the Jumpstart
organization in Squamish will all go towards
the community of Squamish

Statistics
In 2013, Jumpstart helped 49 children in
Squamish.
One of Jumpstarts goals was to help 100 000
children get involved in sports and recreation
on an annual basis by 2012
At this point in time Jumpstart has helped a
total of 734 114 kids in Canada
What would Jumpstart do with the
grant?
Jumpstart would put all of the grant money
towards helping even more children in need of
financial help to play sports
