15 years of the Limburg Youth Sports Fund

YOUTH FUND SPORT LIMBURG IS CELEBRATING 15 YEARS!

Today, exactly 15 years ago, the Limburg Youth Sports Fund (then known as the Limburg Youth Sports Fund) was launched. Jack Opgenoord, Frans Groutars, and Joep Verbugt are the proud founders of this Limburg fund.

It's always shocking to see how many children grow up in families without enough money to participate in sports. Looking at the figures from the past 15 years, we see that the Limburg Youth Sports Fund is becoming increasingly popular. This is fantastic, of course! What we want is that all Limburg children can participate and practice their favorite sport and/or earn their swimming certificate. It's wonderful to report that the Limburg Youth Sports Fund has helped 30,000 Limburg children over the past 15 years.

Of course, we can't do it all alone. We've received an enormous amount of commitment and support from partners, sponsors, dedicated volunteers, enthusiastic municipalities, and over 1,600 involved intermediaries. Our collaboration with other "children's funds," such as Leergeld, the National Children's Aid Fund, Jarige Job, and the Limburg Youth Culture Fund, has intensified in recent years, expanding our collective reach.

A deep bow and a big thank you to everyone who has been involved in any way with Jeugdfonds Sport Limburg!

We hope to continue to experience this much support and commitment in the years to come. Only together can we ensure that all Limburg children can practice their favorite sport and/or earn their swimming certificate.

May we together add many more wonderful years to this, allowing many Limburg children to participate again.
