I'm sure you have seen the commercial with the young boy trying to get a job in a restaurant so he can buy equipment and join a sports team. I'm sure you've seen the key chains, little soccer balls and other gifts Canadian Tire gives customers for making a $1 or $2 donation to their "Jumpstart" program.
Do you know how the program works? Do you know how to get help for a child or youth in your neighbourhood that desperately wants to play hockey, baseball, soccer or many other recreational activities? Probably Not, but you can learn right now how local volunteers across Canada help this program work.
I will keep on buying key chains, little soccer balls and paper sheets saying that I support Canadian Tire JumpStart. I bought another one this Christmas at Mark's Work Warehouse (Owned by Canadian Tire). It was a great $1 investment.
Most Londoners who shop at Canadian Tire or Mark's Work Wearhouse do the same. Give yourselves a pat on the back for helping ALL kids get onto the playing field.
