Chevrolet Making Dreams Possible
Last Updated on Tuesday, 19 April 2011 15:36 | |
Chevrolet and the Coaching Association of Canada know that medal-winning performances are fueled by preparation. Without coaches and funding, the dream of winning an international medal is just that – a dream.
As an extension of its Olympic and Paralympic sponsorship, and to complement its commitment to amateur sport, Chevrolet created Making Dreams Possible, a national program to support coaches and their athletes at all levels of coaching excellence. Club Coaching Grants are awarded bi-annually to local sport clubs, leagues and associations across Canada to support community coaching at the grassroots level. High Performance Coach Grants are awarded each year to top Canadian athletes and their coaches in order to help them achieve their goals of reaching the Olympic podium.
