After a successful launch of the Circle K Celebration Festival grants in 2024, which impacted over 90,000 soccer community members including grassroots participants, coaches, and spectators, Ontario Soccer and Circle K are proud to announce that the Celebration Festival Grants are back for 2025! Once again fifty (50) hosting grants will be provided to support and enhance the many vibrant and diverse year-end grassroots festivals that Clubs and Districts deliver.
Through an application process, Ontario Soccer and Circle K will select up to fifty (50) organizations, which are already planning to host an age-and-stage appropriate year-end event, and provide them with the following:
- $750 cash (Grant paid out once all requirements are met - EFT payments will be made during Fall 2025 payment window);
- 12ft x 3ft Banner with Circle K branding (co-branded with your logo, as we are able);
- 6ft Circle K Table Cloth;
- Circle K Swag items (TBD as available; may differ by location) to be distributed to your participants.
A successful candidate:
- Will be hosting an existing year-end festival, not currently title sponsored by another entity/ grant program;
- Will only submit one application per Club; • Have a minimum of 50 festival participants
In the event that more than 50 Clubs apply, Ontario Soccer will work with Circle K to determine successful candidates based on most complete application, scope and regional representation.
This opportunity is open to all Ontario Soccer District Association Member Clubs.
