This year, Squash Canada is reaching out to the greater squash community to help make a difference. We invite you to join and support our Road to the Podium Fund and help propel Canadian Squash Players to the forefront of the Olympic Stage in Los Angles 2028.
The journey to the Olympics is paved with opportunity, but it requires significant investment. Canada has the talent, the passion, and the potential to shine on what is known to be the ultimate athletic stage. However, to ensure our athletes can compete against the world’s best, we need to build a solid foundation of support. Contributions through this fund will ensure that our national team is equipped with world-class resources including coaching and training environments, centralized regional training, and development opportunities necessary to compete and excel at the highest level.
Furthermore, a direct contribution to Squash Canada’s Road to the Podium Campaign will not only support our National Squad athletes, but new players as well. Donations of $250 or greater to the Road to Podium Fund will allow the donor to outfit a beginner with a “Squash Starter Kit” of everything they need to step on court: racquet, balls, goggles, and backpack. Donors can actively allocate their “Squash Starter Kit” to an individual, a club or a province/territory they would like the kit to be donated to. Your generosity will empower both our elite athletes and the next generation of players, fostering a stronger and more vibrant squash community.
“Squash in Canada has never had more opportunity as our community is about to embark on the Olympic dream. Planning starts now for LA28 and beyond, and our athletes need your support to achieve their dreams,” shared Squash Canada Chief Executive Officer, Jamie Nicholls. “I believe so strongly in the people and programs that we have in place to make Squash Canada a world-leading nation in our sport, and it’s important to lead by example – that’s why I personally donate annually to the Road to Podium fund, and why we are reaching out to the greater squash community to donate as well.”
Squash Canada is a not-for-profit national sports association that relies on the generosity of funding partners, friends, and fans to help foster its programs and national teams. With your support, Squash Canada can help increase participation, build awareness for the sport, provide programming to enrich player experiences, and support our athletes’ quests to reach their peak leading into the LA28 Olympic Games.
For support donating, please email info@squash.ca. For added convenience, donations can also be made through the United Way, giving you another simple way to champion our athletes and community.
Together, we can make history for squash in Canada and inspire a new generation of champions. Join us this Giving Tuesday—every dollar counts!
As a registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association recognized by Canada Revenue Agency, donations of $25.00 or more will receive a charitable tax receipt.
