Thank you to our Volunteers, Coaches and Sponsors.
As we enter another year for our summer soccer program, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers, coaches, and donors who make it all possible.
Thanks in advance for your efforts, because without your support we wouldn’t be able to offer this to our community. This year, we are able to offer soccer programs to more than 400 players on 36 teams. Coaches and volunteers, your dedication to the sport and the community is inspiring, and it is because of you that our program continues to thrive and grow.
We would also like to express our gratitude to our partners at Lindenwoods Community Centre for their generosity in providing key equipment that has saved us a lot of unnecessary expenses. Your support has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing our partnership in the years to come.
Finally, we want to extend a special acknowledgement to our key sponsors:
- Tim Horton’s and Calabria Market for mini-soccer for providing uniforms and pizza for players
- Canada Life for helping the program this year again
- A special thank-you to our longest supporter Linden Ridge Orthodontics and doctor Rana Shenkarow for their generous financial contributions.
Your support has helped us keep costs down and makes our summer soccer program accessible to everyone in our community, especially during these times when inflationary pressures are affecting so many. Your contributions are essential, and they make it possible for everyone to play.
As our soccer program continues to grow we are looking for volunteers to fill the following positions (more on our website https://whyteridge.ca/sports/soccer/contacts/):
- 1 or 2 youth soccer conveners (spring and fall)
- 2 equipment managers (spring and fall)
- soccer program administrator/registrar (year around)
- mini-soccer director (summer season only)
- 2 mini soccer conveners (summer season only)
Thank you all once again for your dedication and support. It is because of you that we are able to provide high-quality sports programs to the youth of our community. Stay tuned, because this fall we are planning a celebration for all of you that make our sports programs possible. We will be holding a special ‘Sports Fest’ celebration in September to recognize the contributions of all our volunteers and coaches. This celebration event will be a chance for us to show our appreciation for everything you do to make our sports teams a success. More details on this event will be shared soon, but we are already looking for volunteers to help us in organizing this fun and exciting event.
With Gratitude,
Whyte Ridge soccer team
