Donations Continue Supporting Grayson’s Dream

For those who have been living behind closed doors, Sportswave has a vested interest to help a young hockey player named Grayson who lives in North Delta and kicked off a program that is soaring in the world of social media.

We first met Grayson and his Family earlier this year at the Kids Sport Gala held at Tsawassen Springs and since then his “dream” has become reality.

At our first meeting I introduced him to the Vancouver Giants coaching staff at their training camp held at the Ladner Leisure Centre where the coaches were extremely gracious to chat with him which doesn’t always happen.

I mention that only due to the busy schedule that everyone has in today’s world, but regardless it was impressive to see it happen, so again thanks to the Vancouver Giants and especially Nathan Kanter.

Since the last time I posted Grayson’s world has taken off faster than the Snowbirds at the Boundary Bay Airshow this past July which continues to soar to new heights helping those less fortunate.

We all know that the cost of sporting equipment isn’t cheap in today’s world and heaven forbid for  single parents it’s even more expensive which is where Kids Sport comes into the picture.

Grayson has had the privilege to be the 7th skater on the ice with the following teams such as Delta Ice Hawks, Vancouver Canucks, Abbotsford Canucks, White Rock Whalers and the Surrey Eagles to name a few. In addition he was picked for the Athlete of the week for CTV 1130.

Knowing that he was going to the Canucks game I reached out to a good friend and Canuck Announcer Al Murdoch who along with Canuck staff brought him up to the media booth which I  graciously appreciated.

Personally I’m thrilled for the success he has taken his “dream” to for those less fortunate and if you ask him there’s no such thing as taking no for an answer.

It only goes that with his big heart and even bigger dreams, Grayson proudly shared his Play It Forward stickers with his team who  are helping spread the message that no child should go without sports gear.

The idea was his alone and did not come from any organization or minor Association and if any are trying to take the idea and run with it – think twice it comes from an eight-year old boy!!

The Giants embraced this as did minor Junior teams as did the local pro teams so that we can continue to come together and make a difference one stop, one voice and one child at a time.

There will be a sale upcoming next spring in North Delta Saturday March 14th from 10 -2 held at the New Hope Church so make the date on your calendar and put it in your planner so you don’t miss out with all donations and funds raised going to Kids Sport Delta.

Anyone wishing to  contact him can do so via his e-mail which is controlled by Adults is grayson@playitforwardsportsdelta.com and if you can’t reach him contact me at sportswave@dccnet.com 

If you need any stickers let me know and I’ll get them to you

Thanks for supporting Grayson – it’s something you won’t regret!!!!!
