National Winter Sports Development Association Gives the Gift of Consistency
Consider for a moment that 19 out of 20 Canadians who participated in the most recent World Junior and U23 Championships have been impacted by NWSDA funding, as have many Olympians.
Formed in 2008 as an initiative launched by B.C.-born business titan and philanthropist Bob Disbrow with his partner Kim Kawaguchi, the NWSDA has provided a consistent stream of funding support in developing cross country skiers from coast to coast to coast. The funding is centred on helping clubs pay for and develop coaches who will allow internationally competitive athletes to flourish.
