This event is open to everyone!

Engaging children in sports offers numerous benefits beyond physical fitness. Participation fosters important life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Through the camaraderie of team sports, children learn to communicate effectively, support one another, and work towards common goals. Moreover, sports instill valuable lessons in time management and perseverance, as young athletes balance academic responsibilities with rigorous training schedules. These experiences not only contribute to their overall development but also lay the foundation for success in various aspects of life.

When you support the Simpora Foundation, you are supporting the youth in your community.

We hope you're eagerly waddling into the weekend just like us!

Our ducks certainly are thrilled. As they find their new homes, they bust out in a happy dance, knowing that more funds are going into the community for our youth!

Mark your calendars for September 14th when we'll be hosting our Rubber Duck Race and Family Carnival at Ethel Tucker Park and Sheep River bridge. It's the moment everyone eagerly anticipates!

Hurry! Get your friend beside you to scan this QR code if they are passionate about supporting the youth of our community.
