Four businessmen started Athletics for Kids (A4K) in 2002 to provide financial assistance for children ages 5-18 to participate in sports. Since then, over 2,500 children in BC have received support of up to $600 per year for registration fees for sports like hockey, soccer, and gymnastics. A4K's vision is for every BC child to participate in community sports, and their mission is to ensure access to youth sports regardless of financial status.
