KidSport Tri-Cities executive director Chris Wilson (centre) praised the Coquitlam Metro Ford Soccer Club for its $38,057 donation for this year’s season. The club has self-funded all of the KidSport grants that the charity has issued to the group for the past six years; it also takes in donations on behalf of KidSport during registration, which amounts to $4,000 each year, Wilson said.
