Cruisers History
History
Cruisers Sports for the Physically Disabled was first formed in September 1986 by a dedicated group of parents who wanted their children to be able to participate in sports. As the Cruisers grew and evolved over the years, we became incorporated in March 1999, and a charitable organization number was received in March 2000.
As the club continued to grow in numbers, fundraising efforts grew as well. Internal fundraising events such as bingos and chocolate bar sales were organized in the early years of the club; our current annual fundraising events include an awards gala, and and a golf tournament. Cruisers also applied and received funding from Ronald McDonalds Childern's Charities, the Raptors Foundation and the Trillium Foundation.
Throughout our history, all funds raised are put 100% back into the operation of the club and the support of our athletes.
