GWN...
Here are all of our objectives, in priority, as laid out in our strategic plan:
(You asked for the top 3 but I thought I would give you the whole enchilada!)
To be non for profit federally incorporated charitable organization
To establish and support a fund to assist former players who experience post career medical challenges.
To create an umbrella organization for team alumni associations to realize economies of scale with respect to marketing opportunities, operating costs, sponsorship, and programming
To promote the tradition of the CFL and to enhance and augment the CFL experience for the benefit of players and fans
To support the development of football in Canada through scholarships, football program start up funds, mentorship, etc. in partnership with the CFL teams, CFL alumni, CFLPA, Football Canada, CIS Football, and Canadian Junior Football, etc.
To build a business contact network of retire players to support current CFL players as they transition from football to post football careers
To assist CFLPA Pension Plan to locate the players who have pension monies available but not contact information
How can you help?
You said our Grey Cup CFL Alumni Legends Club event was out of your price range. We do not want to be known as an organization which leaves out any part of our fan base. We would welcome ideas how we could hold events or other fundraising activities which allow ALL fans to participate.
As well, just please spread the word of our existence and of our objectives. If you go to our website
www.cflaa.ca you will get an update of the local and national activites. If you have any suggestions for other content please let me know.
