Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington presented KidSport Delta with $4,000 earlier this month on behalf of the provincial government to help kids take part in sports.
"Every child in this province should have the opportunity to participate in organized sport and we are thrilled to help KidSport Delta," said Huntington.
Chair Carlene Lewall said in its first full year of existence in 2013, KidSport Delta helped 81 children participate in local sports by disbursing over $20,000.
"The support from the province is truly appreciated as KidSport Delta relies on the thoughtful donations from private donors and businesses," said Lewall.
"It is never easy to raise the funds that are needed."
KidSport BC is the charitable arm of Sport BC, providing grants to financially disadvantaged children to cover the costs of sport registration fees.
KidSport grants are available for children 18 years and under who are in financial need to pay registration fees. If you'd like to apply or make a donation, visit www.kidsportdelta.ca. If you would like to volunteer to provide administrative help, call 604-943-0460.
