The 5 Goals of the Foundation

1. Athletes Support Young athletes that aspire to Olympic competitions are either poorly funded or
not funded at all

To raise funds for young athletes training to qualify for the Olympics

2. The Power Of One School-aged children need to know that they, as individual people, have the power to make
a difference in their communities if they just try
To get training in and reward from community contribution by having students work within an exciting and inspiring community project that gives them tangible results
3. Educational Support Schools and teachers want exciting and practical methodologies for teaching
students basic academic skills
To provide educators with a curriculum-based program to teach math, reading, writing and social studies
4. Government &
Corporate Funding
Canadians only think about the support
needs of elite athletes during the Olympics, which results in an environment of poorly funded athletes
To create a more sympathetic environment for continuous corporate and government funding by sensitizing Canadians to the day-to-day support needs of elite athletes
5. Personal Excellence In many cases, all people need in order to perform at a higher level is confidence and encouragement To create a two-way support system where the students cheer their athlete on to a higher level of performance and the athlete teaches the students what it takes to achieve at the highest levels in any endeavour
