Sport for the North Equipment Drive

 

Sport for the North Equipment Drive

It is anticipated there will be a substantial need for sports equipment due to the losses in northern Alberta.  First for the families currently displaced from their homes, both with specific sport needs and just staying active wherever they are.  And second, an ongoing need to replace equipment lost in the fires once the damage has been assessed.

Sport Central is a registered charity whose sole mission is to provide equipment to kids in need (ages 3-17) throughout Northern Alberta.  United Cycle is collaborating with Sport Central to collect equipment donations to meet the anticipated increase in demand.

Please donate any new or gently used sports equipment at:

           

United Cycle - 7620 Gateway Boulevard NW  OR

Sport Central - 11847 Wayne Gretzky Drive

For further information please contact:
United Cycle: [email protected] or 780-433-1181 ext. 457
Sport Central: www.sportcentral.org or 780-477-1166

If you know of any Northern Alberta players or families, teams or communities who need specific sport equipment or sports gear to stay active, contact [email protected] 780-433-1181 ext. 457
