CARLYLE - KidSport is a provincial organization that helps families in need of financial support so their children can participate in sports.
The Carlyle KidSport committee accepts applications from Carlyle families. In 2023, it provided $5,115 in grants for kids in the community to participate in sports. All funds raised and donated to Carlyle KidSport remain in Carlyle.
Carlyle KidSport held its inaugural Bingo fundraiser on April 25 at the Carlyle Sports Arena. About 120 Bingo players came out for the event. It was great to see families and friends come together to play and support KidSport.
Experienced and first-time Bingo players all appeared to have a lot of fun throughout the night. The feedback has been very positive and they are looking forward to making this an annual event.
There were 13 regular Bingo games and three additional specialty games. Everyone had a chance to win one of five door prize packages of KidSport items. There was a wonderful selection of 37 donated prizes for the raffle table, and a great selection in the concession to keep everyone fed and watered.
A special thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped the committee: Ty Currie, Marlee Cormier, Marion Juce, Brandon Lequyer, Rhylind Johnson, Myrna Shaw, Gord Paulley and Kelly Currie. One can never thank volunteers enough for helping make the event successful.
The committee is very grateful for the support from the business community and friends with tables, cards, food and prizes.
