Iconic Canadian athletes will be featured in a limited edition calendar created by Jumpstart Charities, Canadian Tire's official charitable program. The 12-month bilingual calendar for 2012 will raise funds for the charity's many sport and recreation programs, which, since 2005, have allowed more than 371,000 Canadian children to take part in summer fun and camaraderie.
Featured in the calendar are Canadians Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks, figure skater Kurt Browning, gold medalist hockey player Sami Jo Small and track and field champion Nicole Forrester and Jamaal Magloire among others.
The athletes will be shown in artistic renderings created by Canadian artists who donated their time and talent for the project.
The 12 athletes were chosen based on their previous support for the Jumpstart program. Canadian Tire hopes the calendar, which is a pilot project this year, will become an annual part of their fundraising.
Be sure to show your support and pick up a copy of the 2012 Canadian Tire Jumpstart Calendar (featuring a portrait of Jamaal painted by artist Carol Cluff for the month of May!) at a participating Canadian Tire Store.
