Tony Osborne Memorial Youth Fund
It is with great honour that the Ontario Cycling Association, in
collaboration with the Newmarket Eagles, announces the creation of
the Tony Osborne Memorial Youth Fund. Named in recognition of
the late Tony Osborne, the Youth Fund’s main purpose is to aid, in
various capacities, in the development of young cyclists within the
province.
To reduce cost barriers related to cycling programs the OCA relies
heavily on grants, sponsorship and donations. 100% of all donations
towards the Tony Osborne Memorial Youth Fund will go towards
subsidizing youth programming costs.
All donations will be eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
