Great to Gold
“Great to Gold” is a program that delivers on its name by directly supporting Team Canada athletes from different sports and disciplines who are poised for the podium at Paris 2024 but need a financial boost to help them reach their potential and inspire us all.
“I cannot express how much this support means to me. Especially as an under funded sport in Canada – we don’t get the limelight or funding opportunities. I am so grateful for opportunity chase my dreams. Thank you for supporting my Olympic journey.”
