“GSL Group’s mission has always been to bring people together and connect communities,” explains Mike Strawn, VP & General Manager of Sports and Entertainment at GSL Group. “Our goal with this event is to deliver an experience that inspires young athletes and fans in our locale through a sport we know Kelowna loves, and ultimately help better our community tenfold with this incredible partnership with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC.”

“We are incredibly grateful for the partnership and support of GSL Group,” says Tammie Watson, VP of Philanthropy YMCA of Southern Interior BC. “Their dedication to our community is instrumental in igniting the potential of low-income children and at-risk youth. Together, we are creating brighter futures with a collaboration that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.”
