PRO Kids

PRO Kids PRO Kids is a charity devoted to making recreation activities accessible for Thunder Bay children/youth who are unable to participate due to lack of funds.

Since it was established in 1998, PRO Kids has made nearly 22,270 placements of local children and youth into recreational activities in Thunder Bay. With over 200 community organizations to choose from, PRO Kids and its partners share in providing program spaces to local children and youth. Organizations donate spaces in their programs and PRO Kids fills these spaces with children who have applie

d for assistance. Each experience provides the opportunity for youth to develop into positive, contributing members of our community as they learn new skills, teamwork and cooperation. The sense of pride in their abilities leads to a sense of achievement and self-confidence.

🏒⚽🏀 Give your used sports equipment another chance to play!

Have gently used sports equipment your family has outgrown? Donate it to Play It Again Sports and ask for the value of your donation to be credited to the PRO Kids account! 💙

That credit helps purchase equipment for local children and youth who may otherwise be unable to afford the cost—helping them get off the sidelines and into the game. ⭐

📍 Bring your used sports equipment to Play It Again Sports and help give more kids the chance to play!

A pretty special PRO Kids moment! 🏆

Thunder Bay’s own Jordan Staal brought the Stanley Cup home and took some time to connect with PRO Kids.

Jordan signed a Carolina Hurricanes jersey, which will be auctioned off in support of PRO Kids at the Mayor’s Mulligan Golf Tournament on August 28. 💙

Thanks for the support, Jordan! 🙌

Still smiling from Teddy Bears’ Picnic 🧸

Our temporary tattoos were a hit, and we loved chatting with families about how PRO Kids help children and youth access recreation.

And if you missed the Sharon, Lois & Bram Family Singalong, here’s a little “Skinnamarink” magic from the day. 💙

Thanks to everyone who stopped by!
