Commonwealth Games Foundation of Canada hasn't added a story.

Canadian Athletes Need Your help!

Canada was the first country to host the Commonwealth Games, and we’ve participated ever since. But since 2011 our Government funding has been reduced by 70%, and in recent years, corporate donations have slowed as well. As a result Canada is at risk of not being able to send a team to future Commonwealth Games. We need your donations to help ensure Canadian athletes can continue to achieve more sporting firsts. 

The Commonwealth Games - Important Contributor to Canadian High Performance Sport

Did you know Canada's Commonwealth athletes win 80% of the medals Canada wins at the Summer Olympic Games? Many athletes have told us that going to the Commonwealth Games contributed significantly to their Olympic and Paralympic Success. Canadian athletes have consistently established World "firsts" at the Commonwealth Games and we want to continue to have our athletes shine on Commonwealth podiums.

 

The Numbers

It costs $1.8 million to send a full Canadian team of athletes to the games. (Approx. $6,000 per athlete.) 

Currently we receive $1 million from the Government and sponsors, but we need to raise $200,000 per year or we'll risk losing a team forever.

If we don't raise $800,000 per quadrennial there will be no more firsts , no more trips to the podium, and certainly no chance to host the Centennial Commonwealth Games in 2030.  

We need your help!

Millions of Canadians will donate to worthy causes on November, 27th, #GivingTuesday. We ask that you consider this Commonwealth Campaign for your charitable donation this year. With your help we will be able to continue to enable Canadian athletes to excel at the Commonwealth Games and inspire the next generation of Canadian hopefuls.

 

 

Don't let 2022 be the last year Team Canada participates in the Comm onwealth Games!   Please donate today.

 

Note:100% minus merchant fees will be contributed. Tax receipts provided.

Faites que les Jeux du Commonwealth de 2022 ne soient pas nos derniers  

Contribuez à notre  futur

Sans votre soutien, les Jeux du Commonwealth de 2022 pourraient être les DERNIERS auxquels le Canada participe. Fini les premières mondiales, fini les ascensions du podium. Nous avons besoin de vous! 100% des profits de notre campagne iront à financier la participation des athlètes canadiens aux Jeux du Commonwealth.

 

Le Canada a été le premier pays hôte des Jeux du Commonwealth et a participé à toutes les éditions des Jeux. Mais depuis 2011, notre financement gouvernemental a été réduit de 70% et au cours des dernières années, les dons corporatifs ont considérablement ralenti. Ainsi, le Canada risque d’être dans l’impossibilité d’envoyer une équipe aux Jeux du Commonwealth. Nous avons besoin de vos dons pour assurer que nos athlètes canadiens continuent de produire des premières mondiales.

Les Jeux du Commonwealth – une contribution importante au sport de haute performance au Canada

Saviez-vous que 80% des médailles gagnées par le Canada aux Olympiques d’été sont remportées par des athlètes du Commonwealth? Plusieurs athlètes ont partagé que leur participation aux Jeux du Commonwealth a contribué de manière importante à leur succès olympique et paralympique. Les athlètes canadiens réussissent régulièrement des premières mondiales aux Jeux du Commonwealth et nous espérons sincèrement que nos athlètes continueront de briller sur les podiums du Commonwealth.

En chiffres

La participation d’une formation canadienne complète aux Jeux coûte 1,8 million $, soit approximativement 6 000 $ par athlète.

Présentement, nous recevons 1 million $ du gouvernement et de commanditaires mais nous devons recueillir au moins 200 000 $ par année ou nous risquons de perdre notre équipe pour toujours.

 

Si nous ne pouvons recueillir 800 000 $ par période quadriennale, nous n’aurons plus ces premières mondiales, nous n’aurons plus ces médailles et nous perdrons la chance d’accueillir les Jeux à l’occasion du centenaire des Jeux du Commonwealth en 2030.  

Nous avons besoin de vous!

Le 27 novembre, des millions de Canadiens et Canadiennes donneront à des causes honorables à l’occasion de #mardijedonne. Cette année, nous vous demandons de considérer notre campagne pour les athlètes du Commonwealth. Avec votre aide, nous pourrons continuer d’aider les athlètes canadiens à exceller aux Jeux du Commonwealth et à inspirer la nouvelle génération d’espoirs canadiens.

 

Faites qu’Équipe Canada participe aux Jeux du Commonwealth au-delà de 2022! Faites un don dès aujourd’hui.
