Through initiatives like the EOCF’s Every Kid Deserves a Shot program, funded largely by the EOCF 50/50 raffle, we focus on giving young people, including Indigenous youth, the same opportunities that shaped my life.” Read the full Edmonton Journal article here: https://edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-how-sport-can-heal-unite-and-inspire-our-kids

    EOCF Opinion-When we invest in play for kids, we all win
    Jan 8 2026
    Today, we reach more than 4,500 kids and their families every year. We employ 150 part-time staff. We run programs in as many as 50 locations at the same time. All of this grew from one small moment back in 2007 — 20 kids at McCauley School just wanting to kick a ball around after class. From the very beginning, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF) believed in that vision — that sport could be a tool for belonging, growth, and community. Thanks to their early support and the Oilers 50/50 raffle, that simple dream became what Free Play is today.
