BMO Financial Group has launched a major national soccer program called BMO Team of the Week – a contest open to young soccer players across the country.
It will award 15 youth teams and give them the chance to win the grand prize, which includes $125,000 to refurbish their community soccer pitch.
For the next 15 weeks, Canadian soccer coaches and parents can nominate their favourite youth soccer team at BMOsoccer.com. BMO Team of the Week winners will be announced every week starting on April 20 and will receive $500, track suits and a donation to a local charity.
Each of the winning teams will become finalists for the grand prize and all Canadians will be able to vote for their favourite team starting Aug. 1 at BMOsoccer.com.
The BMO Team of the Week 2011 Champion will receive a $125,000 field refurbishment, a trip to see a Toronto FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC home game and $5,000 to their chosen charity.
