From Whitehorse To Winnipeg, 60 Local Athletes Selected To Fueling Sport Program As Part Of $10 Million Pledge To Western Canadian Sport

After a very difficult year, community sport and amateur athletes need more help than ever to fuel their journey (June 29, 2021 – Langley, B.C.) More Rewards is proud to unveil its athlete ambassador team of more than 60 local athletes from across Western Canada who will receive funding through its $10 million dollar community sport program. Launched recently in spring 2021, More Rewards Fueling Sport will provide much-needed support to athletes and youth teams, projected to benefit over 500 elite amateur athletes and 150,000 youth sport athletes by 2026. Having carefully reviewed hundreds of online applications from across Western Canada, the More Rewards team selected this group representing more than 30. Sports include Canadian institutions such as hockey, soccer, curling, and speed skating, while also showcasing more recent and regional passions such as CrossFit, rock climbing, water skiing, beach volleyball, and BMX. In addition to a wide breadth of regional and sport representation, the More Rewards Fueling Sport team includes athletes at various stages of their respective athletic journeys. The roster includes Olympic and Pan-Am medalists, Canadian record-holders and Paralympians, as well as local club, university, and aspiring provincial team members. Over the next five years, Fueling Sport will be committing $10 million to fuel the journey of these and more local athletes from across Western Canada. At the local level, Fueling Sport will also provide community sports teams with sponsorship, fundraising opportunities, and exclusive cost-savings with grocery partner Save-On-Foods.

 “A few short weeks ago we excitedly announced the More Rewards Fueling Sport program and outlined our commitment to support local sport teams and athletes across Western Canada. We have been heartened by the response, having received applications from over 200 communities,” said More Rewards president Dan Howe. “This truly validates the need for a program like ours. Today, with our partners at Save-On-Foods, More Rewards is proud to take the next step in our $10 million journey in welcoming more than 60 athletes to our program. We look forward to supporting them pursue their goals from their local hometowns to the international stage, and by investing locally, we are realizing the power of sport in building healthy and vibrant communities.”  Selected athlete ambassadors have a wide range of personal and professional interests. However, the importance of food and grocery shopping is a common factor to fuel their bodies for success and achieve the outstanding accomplishments they have to date.
