In its own words
The Foundation aims to be a catalyst for social change by leveraging the power of sport to improve the lives of children and youth. The Foundation raises capital through donation receipts and fundraising activities (including electronic raffles during sports games) and expends its capital by making charitable donations to qualified donees and delivering its own programs.
