Donate to Support Squash Growth and Athlete Development in 2024 and Beyond
With the LA2028 announcement in October that squash will be included in the Olympic Games for the first time ever, the entire world of squash players let out a collective breathe - finally! But what now? There is a lot of work to be done by all to make this a home run for the Games so that squash will be included as a permanent sport. For us, that means putting our resources behind our largest growth targets ever.
For those who have the means to give, we would appreciate your support on this Giving Tuesday. The Ontario squash community is truly one of a kind and we thank everyone who wishes to contribute to growing this amazing game.
