Engage Sport North needs a new sponsor in order to continue its popular Active Star program in Prince George.
“We are seeking a sponsor for our free preschool physical literacy program, Active Star, in Prince George,” said Sarah Saunders, Director of Sport Development with Engage Sport North.
“The program serves as a vital resource for our northern community, offering children ages 2-5 a unique opportunity for physical activity and social interaction, particularly during the colder months.”
The program runs Mondays through Thursdays from the fall until the spring at the Northern Sport Centre.
In 2023, over 1,000 preschoolers participated in Active Star. During each session staff lead games, activities, and free play stations that build physical literacy, giving children the competence, confidence, and motivation to be physically active.
Previous grant funding for Active Star ended in 2023 and now the program is looking for businesses who may be interested in sponsorship.
“Active Star’s success lies not only in promoting physical fitness but also in fostering social skills and a love for an active lifestyle from an early age,” said Saunders.
“This is an excellent opportunity for a local business to connect with active families and youth in Prince George by helping Engage Sport North continue to deliver this program.”
Businesses interested in sponsoring Active Star may contact Saunders directly by email at [email protected] for further information.
