LMBA understands that not every parent has the funds necessary to enroll their children in community sports activities. Although Baseball/Softball is significantly more affordable than many other sports such as hockey, there are still costs involved in participating such as registration fees and equipment.
There are a number of resources available to you if your child wants to play community sports and you require financial assistance to do so. Below you will find some useful links to organizations that are there to help familly's who need assistance.
Canadian Tire Jumpstart
Jumpstart is a national charity with a commitment to local communities. Organized sports connect kids to their communities. Canadian Tire Corporation recognized this and makes sure that money raised stays where it is donated. Canadian Tire Corporation is Jumpstart’s biggest supporter as it funds all the general administrative expenses of Jumpstart, which means 100% of customer donations go directly to help kids in need.
