AVSC STRONGEST TOGETHER

Strongest Together Athlete Fundraising is closed for the 22/23 winter season. See you next year!

July 19, 2022 - December 1, 2022


All AVSC athletes are encouraged to set up their very own fundraising platform to help offset their program fees and raise funds for other athletes to ensure that no child is unable to participate in AVSC programs due to financial constraints.

Learn more and set up your own fundraiser here.

All funds donated will go directly toward AVSC scholarships. 

50% of the donations that an athlete raises will go on their Campminder account as a credit to be used toward the 2022 - 2023 season AVSC program fees and travel expenses. The remaining 50% of funds raised will go directly to the AVSC scholarship fund. 
Please note: any unused credits on their Campminder account on July 31, 2023, will be applied to the AVSC general scholarship fund.
