Right To Play is thrilled to welcome New Balance Foundation to the Right To Play family as our newest supporter of the PLAY program with a $40,000 USD donation. With a shared commitment to positive youth development, New Balance Foundation is helping Right To Play bring play-based learning opportunities to Indigenous youth in the GTA.

New Balance Foundation invests in impactful, community-led initiatives that build connections and capacity, while sparking innovation. They strive to engage with evidence-based programs that support community needs, making Right To Play’s PLAY program a natural partnership.

“Our mission is focused on removing the barriers to health while harnessing the power of play and sport by supporting vibrant community organizations whose outcomes are impacting positive youth development,” noted Megan Bloch, Director for New Balance Foundation. “So, we invest in the critical work that organizations like Right to Play are doing across the globe to open up opportunities and create access for kids and their communities.”

Together, the commitment to nurture play-based learning opportunities in order to address the inequitable access to health and sport resources for many Indigenous youth, is a driving force in working together to realize lasting change.
