Canadian Olympic Foundation

The Rio 2016 Olympic Games are just around the corner! Run with or support the Canadian Olympic Foundation on June 25 and help fuel Canada’s pursuit of the gold. 
By winning medals, Canada’s Olympic athletes bring our country’s values of excellence, fairness, human development, leadership and peace to life. Few sights inspire national pride and unite the country as powerfully as the Canadian flag flying above all others on the Olympic podium.

Established in 2007, the Canadian Olympic Foundation has raised more than $61 million for priority partners that drive high performance athletic achievement for Team Canada and the Olympians of tomorrow.

As you well know, an Olympian’s journey to the podium requires a solid foundation to be developed in the off-season in order to perform and compete with the top athletes in the world. Daily training, year-round coaching, proper nutrition, breakthroughs in technology in sport science, national and international competitions, and state-of-the-art equipment are all essential in propelling our athletes to the top of the podium.

The key link between the cost to build an Olympian and the inspiration Canada feels when we achieve podium success is your support to our athletes. When you hear “O Canada” playing over the speaker and see an athlete emblazoned with a maple leaf at the top of the podium, you can be assured that your support helped bring that gold medal home for the spirit and pride of our nation.

Stand behind them and run withor support the Canadian Olympic Foundation on June 25.
