2022-23 Annual Report
What a year it has been. In the wake of a global pandemic and facing increased systemic inequities, the Champions for Life Foundation's mission increased in relevance with unparalleled demand from our partner schools and communities to support the physical activity needs of our younger generation. Despite these ongoing challenges, the Champions for Life Foundation, alongside many of you, made remarkable strides in advancing physical literacy.
Making Moves Towards a Healthier Future Generation
This year's annual report showcases our progress and points of pride while highlighting how we connected with our stakeholders to create meaningful experiences and a lasting impact on children's health. This is Making Moves. Throughout this report, we hope you enjoy reading about how this experience played out with our partners – wherever children live, learn, and play.
There were countless Champions for Life experiences to celebrate over the past year. Namely, 628 schools across the province of Québec and 47 schools in other provinces received our programs. We received PHE Canada's Impact Award for the resources we have created in English and French to advance children's physical literacy.
To help us accelerate our efforts to advance equitable physical literacy through our programs and partnerships, we collaborate with numerous organizations and individuals who specialize in serving children of diverse abilities.
With an understanding that active kids learn better, we welcomed a new national program,
Little Champions, to expand our collective impact in kindergarten and preschool classrooms.
Your Continued Support Helped Make a Big Difference
We sincerely thank our donors, volunteers, and partners who have stood by us with unwavering support. Your generosity has driven every success, allowing us to amplify our impact and reach even greater heights. Together, we built bridges of hope and opportunity for those in need, enabling us to continue our march toward change in whole child health.
We are sincerely proud of what we accomplished together to ensure a healthier generation today and tomorrow. This report is a celebration of you and a reflection of your support and commitment.
Thank you for another incredible year!
With gratitude,
David Arsenault
