Water Polo Canada has once again initiated its Age Group National Team (AGNT) fundraising campaign.Your support could help these athletes in achieving their sporting dreams and assist in the development of the next Water Polo Olympians!
As a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association (RCAAA), Water Polo Canada can raise donations and automatically issues official Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) tax receipts for 100% of any donation of $20 or more received. Any amounts raised will be used to offset the total cost of each program, with the goal of reducing the cost per athlete accordingly.
