Canadian Tire Corp. has announced its commitment of an additional $12 million to Jumpstart Charities’ Sport Relief Fund. A recent Ipsos survey shows that 81 percent of community sport organizations are worried about their ability to offer programming in 2021 and 52 percent are facing the threat of permanent closure as a result of the pandemic.
“The overwhelming response to Jumpstart’s Sport Relief Fund in 2020 demonstrated the significant and growing need for support,” said Greg Hicks, CTC’s president and CEO, in a release. This investment is in addition to the $20 million the company is already committed to raising in 2021.
