Give Kids A Chance Charity Inc. wrapped up a successful decade in 2019, thanks to the continued support of our generous donors, sponsors and partners. By working together, we are creating opportunities for the children and youth of Saskatchewan to participate in and benefit from the sport, culture and recreation activities offered in our province. In the last 10 years, GKACCI has provided millions of dollars in funding to support tens of thousands of Saskatchewan children and youth as they pursue activities that provide examples of a healthy, active lifestyle, explore diverse cultures and prepare them for a brighter future. In 2019 alone, $1.9 million of funding was distributed to more than 23,445 children and youth within our province. As we begin a new decade and enter our 14th year, we continue to celebrate the successes of our programs and their participants. KidSport will ring in its silver anniversary in 2020, with Dream Brokers and GKACCI celebrating their own milestones in 2021. And while there is much to look forward to, the need for our programs is ever present. To ensure that Saskatchewan children and youth living in poverty and facing social and economic challenges get the opportunity to participate in sport, culture and recreation activities, we continue to need your help. Together, we can impact the lives of children and youth in Saskatchewan by offering choices and creating chances.

Through her participation in Dream Brokers activities, Aurora experienced personal development, made new friends and was also exposed to “many great leaders” who helped her in all of the different programs. It was those examples of leadership that inspired Aurora to get involved with the Jumpstart program as a youth leader, in hopes that she can make the same impact on the students she works with. “The students will remember how you comforted them, how you were their friend and as someone that they can look up to. That’s what I want to be for the kids participating in Jumpstart.” 2019 ANNUAL REPORT GIVE KIDS A CHANCE CHARITY INC. 5 The Dream Brokers program provides children, youth and their families in select schools the support, resources and education necessary to overcome barriers that prevent participation in new or existing sport, culture and recreation programs.
