OUR CAUSE

MLSE Foundation is an organization built on the belief that sport has the power to change the world. With the support of Toronto Argos, Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC, we invest in programs, organizations and communities to empower the next generation to use sport to recognize and reach their potential. Since launching in December 2009, MLSE Foundation has invested more than $35 million into Ontario communities. We fight to provide equitable access to sport and opportunity on the playing field that leads to success and opportunity off the playing field. We know that by changing the game, we can change the future. Visit mlsefoundation.org for more information and follow @MLSEFoundation on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

MLSE FOUNDATION + MLSE LAUNCHPAD

With the support of MLSE's teams, MLSE Foundation supports the refurbishment of local athletic facilities and funds charities that support youth through sports and recreational programs. As part of its generous commitment to MLSE Foundation, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) directly funds the administration and staffing costs associated with all Foundation operations. This contribution, along with an annual financial donation, ‎makes it possible for MLSE Foundation to achieve its mission to improve kids lives through the spirit and power of sport.

MLSE LaunchPad is a new 42,000 square foot facility located in Moss Park, Toronto, where youth facing barriers use sport to recognize and reach their potential. The facility is built around Sport For Development programming where sport and physical activity are intentionally used to build healthy communities. MLSE LaunchPad includes multi-purpose sport courts, classrooms and a teaching kitchen. Programs are completely free, and focus on four pillars: (1) Healthy Body, (2) Healthy Mind, (3) Ready for School, (4) Ready for Work.
