Canadian Athletes Now

The Canadian Athletes Now site allows you to donate to a Canadian training for the Olympics. They have a campaign on at the moment of $8 for 08.08.08. A donation of just $8 leading to the start of the Olympics on 08.08.08, can, as their website states:

..... assist in providing financial support to athletes training to represent Canada, so that they can have the equipment, coaching and basics required in order to put forth their best performances.

I discovered this initiative tonight while watching the 6:00 news. As a supporter of amateur athletics, I placed a small, tax deductible, donation.
