TD Canada Trust “Scoring for Schools” Program

Where did it originate

The TD Canada Trust Scoring for Schools Program is a new initiative introduced by the Saskatoon Blades for the 2007-2008 regular season. The program is aimed at Saskatoon public and catholic elementary schools that are interested in participating in the program. All interested schools will be encouraged to contact the Saskatoon Blades Community Relations department for registration information.

Purpose of the Program

The program is an initiative designed to benefit the students and staff within the public and catholic elementary school systems of Saskatoon, by providing financial assistance to “schools of the month”.

Program rewards

In order to emphasize the important relationship between sports and academics, this program will provide a financial donation to the “school of the month” for each Saskatoon Blades home game goals (excluding shoot-out goals) scored during the 2007-2008 regular season.

TD Canada Trust “School of the Month”

Schools will be randomly chosen by the Saskatoon Blades administrative staff. Each month, one school from the public and catholic elementary school systems will be then designated “TD Canada Trust School of the Month”. This designation will then make the schools eligible to receive a monthly donation. Monthly donations will be presented to the chosen schools at the end of each month.

Summation

The Saskatoon Blades, much like their corporate sponsors, have a vested interest in the development and recognition of our youth. This program was developed in a way that lets both the Saskatoon Blades and their corporate sponsor have a positive influence on the youth of Saskatoon, both in sport and academics.
