Ways to Give

Reports indicate that at age 4, 91% of kids hit the daily physical activity recommendations but by age 17, that number drops to 21%. A huge contributing factor to this decline in activity is inequitable access and inclusive opportunities – especially for kids in our community who could most benefit. Our goal is to get 250 kids off the sidelines and into the game before the end of 2026. With your help, we can continue to remove the barriers to sport participation and get more kids in the game.
 
Your support gives children and youth the chance to move, grow and belong through programs like Girls on the Run, Autism Moves, Blind Hockey, Sports Day the Girls Way and the REBLACKS Mentorship and Champions Program. Your gift directly supports access to sport, covering program costs, equipment and coaching so every child can participate.
 
Your gift can be directed to specific programs or areas of greatest need. When you Play It Forward you create opportunities that build confidence, connection, and lifelong impact.

Our Impact

  1. Since 2017, we’ve partnered with over 100 community organizations to deliver 87,000+ hours of programming, reaching more than 11,000 children and youth. Our work focuses on three pillars: Health, Development, and Inclusion—helping youth build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging through accessible, activity-based programs. As rates of inactivity and mental health challenges rise, our mission is to ensure every young person has the opportunity to play, grow, and thrive.
I just wanted to share how happy Charlotte is to attend these sessions. We have tried her in city run programs which always ended with tears and refusal to go back. She counts down the days for her "program" each week. This has brought so much joy to our household as she feels like she belongs in these programs. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this for kids like Charlotte.

We were overjoyed when we heard of Autism Moves starting up! We can't express what a huge gap this has filled for our son. Our son loves to be active but has never been able to join a "regular" sports team due to social needs and motor-coordination difficulties. He was a big participant in many activities that were offered by Ausome but once Ausome closed down, we were left with nothing. We can't thank OSEG enough for trusting and believing in our community. Our athletes deserve sports programming as well - and thanks to Autism Moves, they have it and love it! We hope it's here to stay.

Autism Moves has been so accepting and wonderful for our child and we really appreciate this type of program for him. It is incredibly hard to find programs which he can participate in at his level. Having a safe space for us to bring him with knowledgeable and well-trained volunteers and staff who make him feel acknowledged and included means the world to our family.

I had the privilege of seeing the participants develop over the course of the whole season. Little subtle changes in their physical abilities, confidence and social relationships happened every week but were sometimes hard to notice on a day-by-day basis. When the girls began the program, many of them could not even run one lap. Some days it was a struggle to get the girls moving, but by the end of the program, they had learned how to pace themselves and could usually complete more laps than they ever could have imagined! Not only could they run further but they listened better and formed new friendships with other girls.

They saw spaces filled with strong, joyful women, inspiring them and showing them that being a girl is a privilege, not a burden that must be endured.

Justin has inspired and motivated me in many ways. Many times when we would meet, it would be meaningful, and I would learn a lot from what he's said and from his experiences compared to mine.
