With recent changes to community funding models such as Jumpstart, and an ever rising cost of living, the Ottawa Shooting Stars are looking to help get as many children and youth involved in sports as possible. Which is why we’re aiming to raise $20,000 to help families facing economic barriers access sport in a meaningful way this season.
By supporting OSS’s Get in the Game Fund, you’re helping local athletes right here in your own community. Established in 2023, the GITG Fund aims to help subsidize families facing economic hardship so that they too can experience all the benefits of taking part in organized sports which help shape the leaders of tomorrow.
Although basketball may not have the same level of start up costs that sports such as hockey or football do, uniform costs, travel, hotels, tournament fees and more add up over the course of a season. With your generous support, we will direct collected funds to help support players requiring financial assistance to offset costs throughout the course of their season. In doing so, we hope to allow more children and youth to “Get In The Game” in Ottawa.
