In Episode 3 of My Hockey Podcast, Danielle Grundy joins me as the first ever guest of the podcast!
You can listen to the episode on Itunes: Danielle Grundy and the Grindstone Award Foundation
or on the web by clicking here: Danielle Grundy and the Grindstone Award Foundation
Danielle is the president and co-founder of the Grindstone Award Foundation, a CRA registered charity based out of Kelowna, BC, that provides grants to girls across Canada. Grindstone was founded in 2014, and last year gave grants to 30 girls across Canada. Although it started with two co-founders today Grindstone has a team of people working hard to serve their mission.
On this 25 minute episode we talk about how the
Grindstone Award Foundation raises money and provides grants to enable
Canadian girls to play hockey, who would otherwise be unable to play due
to financial hardship.
We discuss Grindstone's 3rd annual charity
tournament happening July 19-21 in Kelowna, BC. Funds raised in the tournament go towards providing grants to deserving Canadian girls.
Canadian Olympic gold
medalist Natalie Spooner will join Grindstone and participate in all
three events of the charity tournament.
We also discuss the August 1st
deadline for applying for a grant. The Grindstone Award Foundation team seeks to give out 50 grants this year, so share the word that girls should apply!
In the second half of the podcast we talk about how people
can support Grindstone, what it was like to start a charity, navigating
setbacks, being part of a movement within girls and women's hockey, and
what it felt like to give that very first grant back in 2015.
