2021-22 Annual Report
The 2021-22 year presented us with continued adventures related to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions. Despite the challenges of these unprecedented times, the Champions for Life Foundation (CFLF) remained committed to helping children to thrive and maximize their potential to be active. Our staff, program leaders, Board of Directors and school communities continued to demonstrate strength and resilience as we navigated this last year.
A Growing Capacity
We increased our capacity to provide more connected services and returned to in-person programming when appropriate and safe. Our teams continued to be creative with providing virtual assistance with our physical literacy resources to make them as accessible, interactive and supportive as possible.
We saw growth and opportunities to support physical education teachers, who were overwhelmed like many other teachers in the education system. We expanded our ability to design and deliver additional resources while continuing to support schools offering our partner and connected physical literacy after-school programs.
Throughout all these challenges, CFLF staff were unwavering in meeting client and community needs and providing the most effective and accessible services while staying positive and supportive of each other. They worked tirelessly to design services to meet new demands. They showed resilience as they adapted to different ways of working and serving the community. We want to thank all CFLF staff for their dedication and exceptional work.
All our funders supported CFLF by continuing to fund all of our programs and by giving us the flexibility to use the funds in different ways to meet the unique needs of these times. We thank all our funders for their generosity and commitment to our community.
Bolder and Stronger, Together!
As we move into our next fiscal year, we are exploring ways to improve every child's experience in and out of class so that our participants get more of everything: more fun, more active time, more confidence, more
feedback, more progress and more success!
The saying goes, "the comeback is greater than the setback." This mindset is why we chose the theme for this year's annual report: Bolder & Stronger Together. As the number of participants we support grows, CFLF will develop innovative ways to empower children to build the skills to be active for life! We will demonstrate agility, dedication, and pursuit of continual improvement through our communications, use of technology, and building partnerships to serve more children.
With gratitude,
David Arsenault
Founder & Executive Director
