The Champions for Life Foundation's #ImproveYourMoves for Charity campaign is launching on December 1st.
The
Champions for Life Foundation
is launching its 1st Annual #ImproveYourMoves for Charity campaign on #GivingTuesday, a global giving movement driven by individuals, charities, businesses and communities across Canada and countries worldwide. Just as Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season, GivingTuesday is the giving season's opening day.
GivingTuesday, the global day of generosity, continues to gain traction across the country in its eighth year, with thousands of partner organizations and millions of Canadians expected to take part. Since 2013, GivingTuesday has united millions of Canadians to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.
The impact of GivingTuesday goes well beyond charitable donations, inspiring giving in all its forms. From coast to coast to coast, people embrace this day as an opportunity to raise money for local charities and nonprofits, run food and clothing drives, give blood, encourage kindness, help a neighbour and celebrate generosity. At a time when we are all experiencing the pandemic, GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity—to use their power of generosity to remain connected and heal.
So far, more than 7,500 Canadian charities, businesses and community groups have used GivingTuesday to rally generosity and help make the world a better place in countless ways. There are official GivingTuesday movements in over 70 countries around the globe, including Australia, Brazil, Kenya, Slovenia, Tanzania, the UK, and more.
Please support our cause
Support for physical literacy is more critical than ever. According to ParticipACTION, data shows that since the outbreak of COVID-19, fewer than 5% of children (ages 5-11) meet the Canadian 24-hour movement behaviour guidelines. Children are sitting too much and moving too little to reach their full potential. We are scaling our current impact by investing in digital solutions to make our programs and resources accessible to more school communities across Canada.
This year, our goal is to support
250 schools with our physical literacy solutions, which will impact the lives of close to
30,000 children ages 5 to 8 years old. By joining a team, fundraising, and supporting our campaign with your donations, you are critical to our success.
