2023-2024 Fundraising Goal: $60,000 by May 31st, 2024

Squash Ontario is a not-for-profit that relies on the support of our community donors and program sponsors to enable sport growth and athlete development programs that wouldn’t operate at all without it. Our donation program - The Lee Hanebury Junior Squash Fund - is operated through the National Sport Trust Fund-Ontario which enables us to provide tax receipts to those who give. All donations made to this fund will assist with the programs detailed below. The Ontario squash community is truly one of a kind and we thank everyone who wishes to contribute to growing this amazing game.

Sport Growth

Squash Ontario has ambitious goals in its 2023-2027 “Squash for All” strategic plan to introduce squash to more players than ever before, ensuring the sport’s continued growth. By 2027, we will have 30,000 people introduced to the sport through Learn to Play programs, mobile squash courts, Squash Canada’s glass court community events and open house events. We will have wheelchair squash programs up and running and equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives underway. We’ve hired a Community Outreach Coordinator to make this happen and we’re ready to make a long lasting impact for our sport.

Athlete Development

We are EXSTATIC about the announcement of squash being included in the LA 2028 Olympic Games - the world’s biggest competitive stage. We are not directly involved in the organization of Team Canada for the Games, but we can make an impact by strengthening our High Performance training pathways, competitive opportunities for Team Ontario junior athletes, encourage excellence through awards and scholarships, and ensure we are doing all we can to have Ontario athletes stand on National, Pan-American, and World podiums.
