Earlier this week BMO Financial Group kicked off the third year of its highly successful nationwide youth soccer program, BMO Team of the Week. Thanks to some star power, this year will be the biggest year yet with Canadian National Women’s Team stars Diana Matheson, Erin McLeod and Rhian Wilkinson (watch the “2013 BMO Team of the Week Ambassador Introduction” YouTube video) acting as BMO Team of the Week Ambassadors.
For the past two years, BMO Team of the Week has gained momentum with thousands of kids and parents in communities across Canada taking grassroots soccer to new heights. Justine Fedak, BMO’s Senior Vice-President of Branding, Advertising & Sponsorships, is excited to kick off this year with the three world class athletes.
The contest, open to youth soccer players aged 7-12, recognizes 15 weekly winners who demonstrate team pride, spirit, community commitment and passion for the game. For the next 15 weeks, Canadian soccer coaches, parents and community members can nominate their favourite youth soccer team at BMOsoccer.com. Plus, individuals who submit a nomination get the chance to earn 200 Bonus AIR MILES reward miles.
BMO Team of the Week winners will be announced weekly starting on April 18th, and will receive a celebration at their local BMO branch, $500, BMO Team of the Week tracksuits and a $500 donation to a local charity. Each of the winning teams will become finalists for the grand prize and vie for the title of BMO Team of the Week 2013 Champion, a title that is decided by the Canadian public through online daily voting at BMOsoccer.com from August 5-19, 2013.
