Jumpstart believes every child should have a chance to take part in sport. This is a cause that is personal to Mitch Marner, and the Marner Assist Fund is thrilled to help kids from families in financial need to pursue their athletic passions.

Jumpstart’s commitment to communities means no child needs to stay on the sidelines.

On July 26, 2018, Marner hit the ice with his NHL friends to raise money for children’s charities in our communities for the first time. The inaugural event included a Draft Night Party, team competition and a showcase of all the participating NHL players’ skills like Auston Matthews, Laura Stacey, Connor Brown and Zach Hyman. The event was presented by Intact Insurance, and sponsors included Canadian Tire, Redbull, Chevrolet, Okanagan Hockey and Molson Canadian.

In July 2018, the Reena Foundation, a cause focused on providing community services and housing for vulnerable individuals, received a 1.8 billion dollar donation assisted by Mitchell Marner.
