Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary reports "... even in Alberta's strong economy, 64,000 children (8.6 per cent) are living in poverty. Being involved in sports is a "luxury" some Calgary families just can't afford for their kids." Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary offer after-school programs to children ages 7 - 12 in seven Calgary communities. After-school activities include sports, arts and recreational programs, computer programs & homework assistance.
Sport Mart is helping kids with the basics so they're able to play sports. "Playing sports is such an important part of growing up! We just wanted to give kids some essentials they'll need, so they're able to get involved." said Carmen Ng, Sport Mart Marketing Coordinator.
Sport Packs are available at all Calgary Sport Mart stores for $10 (including GST), and will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary. Each Sport Pack is valued at $58 retail.
