The Student Philanthropy Association’s Game Changers campaign has begun!
What is the Game Changers campaign?
Our March 2024 campaign called Game Changers, and SPA is asking Carleton students to participate in some fun trivia and sports activities at our tables across campus! If enough Ravens show up to talk about equity, diversity, and inclusion in sports, the Carleton University Alumni Association will donate $2,500 to the Women in Sport program! We hope to share some information about various types of diversity in athletics throughout our campaign, so stay tuned to our social media for the month of March!
What is the Women in Sport program?
The Women in Sport program provides an avenue through which women athletes and coaches in the Ravens Community are given accessibility to equity practices in varsity sports, equitable resources, funding, and high transparency concerning women athletes. It seeks to help provide equity and accessibility in our athletics programs across campus. This will allow our women athletes and coaches to gain further opportunities in their sport, through resources such as training opportunities, nutrition and professional development. By supporting the Women in Sport program, SPA and CUAA can help propel our women athletes and coaches to succeed both on and off the field and inspire the next generation.
The funds will be used to support a variety of initiatives to help female athletes and coaches gain equal opportunity and resources in their sport. The funds will be used for a different focus each year within the Ravens community. For the 2023-2024 academic year, the focus will be to help fund our Ravens female assistant coaches in gaining coaching certifications and accreditations. Through these certifications, our female coaches will be able to grow professionally and gain further experience.
