The NLSA would like to congratulate President Joanne Mallay-Jones of the Marystown Minoor Soccer Association on being selected as one of twelve (12) recipients of the 2010 Women in Sport Encouragement (WISE) Fund.

The Women in Sport Encouragement (WISE) Fund was created to help finance sport initiatives and assist members of the sport community in Canada. The annual grant is primarily to assist active women and/or organizations who are currently offering or creating sport programs targeted to girls and women. The 2010 WISE Fund marks the seventh time CAAWS has offered the grant program. Since the program’s inception in 2004, CAAWS has supported 80 individuals and organizations, dispersing over $69,800 to members of the sport community.
