FRAN TODD ALL HEART<\/span> AWARD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating Champions of Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fran Todd All Heart Award Curler program is intended for young Canadian athletes who embody the values of curling, place the highest priorities on fair play, respect, and inclusivity, and who care deeply for the future of make-up of the Canada-wide curling community. The purpose of this award is to give the next generation \u201cbuilders\u201d of curling the support to create a more diverse and empowered sporting community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s thanks to the generous support of the curling community across Canada, including the annual philanthropic impacts of Mrs. Fran Todd, that we can play this collective role in supporting the next generation of passionate, talented, and caring curlers.

Each year, up to eight awards, across four geographic regions, valued at $2,500 each are awarded to deserving junior curlers for their proposed inclusivity program concepts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2024 program will be open for submissions on May 1, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Description: A five-week program to introduce new Canadians and Ukrainian refugee children aged 10-18 to curling.
\u201cI am passionate about the growth of curling in Canada.
