About MLSE Foundation:
Established in December 2009, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) Foundation supports the refurbishment of local athletic facilities and funds charities that support sports and recreational programs for children and youth. Since its establishment, MLSE Foundation has spent over $30 million on programs and grants. In F2017, the foundation spent $8.9m on program costs and grants.
Since founding, MLSE Foundation has refurbished 49 athletic facilities in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). MLSE has supported numerous GTA youth sports programs including a free, eight-week program in 15 communities teaching over 300 kids soccer skills and a life and sports skills development program for over 3000 Aboriginal children and youth.
MLSE runs 50/50 draws at home games at all four MLSE teams – the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC and Toronto Marlies. Proceeds went toward Best Buddies’ Hooping It Up events, Mjko Boxing, Reach for the Rainbow, Special Olympics Ontario, and Toronto Youth Development. Each year, Best Buddies organizes around 40 ‘Hooping It Up’ basketball events in Toronto and the GTA, involving around 1300 students. Through The KidSport Grant Program, MLSE Foundation helped over 1,500 underprivileged children and youth play a sport of their choosing for a season.
Results and Impact: Reach for the Rainbow holds transformative camps for children and youth with disabilities, helping to improve their independence and providing a feeling of belonging. MLSE Foundation reports that of the 125 families responding to its survey, 75% cite the program as their main respite source. The charity also reported that 99% of camp participants completed the full camp program in 2013.
