Pursu.it is a platform devoted to crowdfunding for Canadian athletes. It is a vehicle offering the world of fans and supporters a personal connection to our Canadian athletes on their journey to success. The online platform is a collection of athlete driven projects looking for support for everything from the purchase of a new track bicycle, travel to their next competition, or support for altitude training in a remote part of the world. Each project has a personalized video and ask outlining the effect it will have on the athlete’s ability to achieve in their sport. Each pursuit is designed by the athlete behind it. The golfer, skier, runner, and other athletes you see on Pursuit have complete control and responsibility over their projects. They spend countless hours definign their story, developing theirgiveback and describing their pursuit. If fans like the project, they can give money directly to the athlete to make it happen. With each donation, athletes “give back”. These personalized Givebacks help the athlete recognize their fans donations while offering the fan a personal connection with the athlete they chose to support. Every Giveback is unique and personally crafted by the athlete for his or her fans. The platform has been endorsed by the Canadian Sports centers coast to coast, Own the Podium, The Canadian Esteem Team and Sport Café.
