2019 WINTER UNIVERSIADE GAMES TEAM CANADA FUNDRAISING WEBSITE LINK: https://www.rallyme.com/rallies/14106/teamcanadagamechanger A crowdfunding page has been set up for the 2019 Winter Universiade fundraising campaign for Team Canada. U SPORTS will be managing this page and the funds raised will go directly to the U SPORTS financial accounts provided. As a Team and Participant of Team Canada you have been provided with Roster Status for the fundraising tool. Each Sport has been provided with a designated page. This page contains the same information that is on the MAIN RALLY page (campaign information and how you can support) – but each team is provided with the opportunity to personalize the page as they want (ie. pictures, updates, rosters, bios). If your sport would like to add pictures, bios, updates to your designated page please send this information to Charonne Thomasos ([email protected]) and it will be uploaded for you. Your dedicated sport page is also available for contributors to donate funds directly to the specified sport team. Donations made from the main page will go to TEAM CANADA as a whole.
