Give the Gift of PLAY.
Help us take the barriers away because all kids deserve to play. We help build confidence, bringing kids heart pumping, fun, physical literacy enriched sessions at schools, recreation and community centres and at PISE. Every dollar you give goes to the kids.
Give the Gift of POTENTIAL.
For those dedicated youth, our Gift of Potential programs provide the necessary next steps, offering continuing physical activity programing that hones skills, builds character, and prepares them for the next level of their chosen sport, and the next stage of their lives. Bringing more adolescent-aged youth into PISE programs is a priority moving forward, which will require support for an increase in capacity and resources.

Your Will has Power
A movement is building across the country. Over 3 million Canadians have left a gift in their Will to charity. This trend in “ethical Wills” has surged in the past three years, and it’s no surprise. With so much change in the world highlighting new and growing needs, people are looking for effective ways to make a big impact.
You have the power to give future generations of children the opportunity to experience quality sport and physical literacy enriched programs at the beautiful Pacific Institute for Education (PISE) in Victoria, BC. Your gift will help sustain PISE’s critical work in educating and bringing quality physical activity programs to children from vulnerable populations, including children with disabilities, Indigenous children and youth, newcomers to Canada, and children from families in need.
