The 2020 Fund
Filed Under General Info
Did you know that Squash BC has an initiative to raise funding for grassroots squash? It’s called the 2020 FUND.
As funding from government and other sources becomes less and less predictable, it is important that we find alternative ways to ensure a sound financial future for Squash. The intention is to use monies accumulated through the 2020 Fund to promote the growth of the game through the development of junior squash. The fund reached it’s goal eight years ahead of schedule and is distributing funds to groups growing the game.
A quick update on the current status of the 2020 Fund as of December 21:
- 2020 Fund balance – $302,322
- Donations received in 2014 – $21,079!
- Grants paid in 2013 – $9289
We would like to acknowledge four significant events that support the 2020 Fund. In addition to generating significant $ for the 2020 Fund, they also do a fantastic job of keeping the Fund on everyone’s radar screen.
- Arbutus’ High Game Tournament
- BC Jesters Calcutta (held at Vancouver Lawn and Tennis Club)
- Bentall Centre Athletic Club’s Halloween Open Team Championships
- Global Fitness and Racquet Centre’s Joe Hattori Memorial Squash Tournament
Many thanks for your continued support of the 2020 Fund.
