Welcome to Nekaneet Jays Care Fundraising!

Our mission is to support youth in our community by providing opportunities in sports and cultural growth. Together we can create a stronger, healthier future for our young people.

This past summer, our Nekaneet team proudly won the Summer League and earned an incredible opportunity to travel and see the Toronto Blue jays. These accomplishments highlight the dedication, talent, and spirit of our youth – and show what’s possible when our community comes together
