KidSport Week BC starts Saturday, Sept. 9 and continues until Saturday, Sept. 16, says local KidSport representative Deb Radolla.
“The local Williams Lake chapter anticipates a large influx of applications this fall after wildfires spread throughout the Cariboo Chilcotin,” Radolla said. “Our chapter will try to help families so that their kids can play sports this season.”
KidSport Week was created to promote awareness, raise funds and get an extra 500 children into games.
KidSportTM is a community based sport funding program which provides grants for children to participate in organized sports.
The program is designed to help children participate in a sport of their choice when families are unable to afford the cost of fees.
