Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities is a national charity dedicated to helping kids overcome financial and accessibility barriers to sport and recreation in order to give all children the same chance to participate as their neighbours, their classmates and their friends.

With an extensive, national network of more than 1,900 Community Partners and 300 local chapters, Jumpstart helps eligible families cover the costs of registration, transportation, and equipment, and provides funding to organizations for recreational infrastructure and programming.

Supported by the Canadian Tire Family of Companies which includes Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Atmosphere, National Sports, Sport Experts, Mark's, PartSource and Gas+,  Jumpstart has enabled over 1.5 million Canadian kids to get in the game since 2005.

With the generous support received through the Mother’s Day Run, Walk & Ride, Jumpstart will continue to pursue it's vision of Canada being a place where all kids have a chance to fulfill their dreams.
