We are thrilled to partner with Vertical Raise for this summer's 2026 Provincial Team Program fundraising campaign. Through this initiative, supporters can purchase a $25 discount app, with 70% of the proceeds returning directly to our program, supporting our athletes with their training, travel and competition fees.
The platform allows supporters to directly support an athlete of their choosing through a simple selection and checkout process. There is also an option to support an athlete with an additional donation.
The app is available across North America and uses location services to display discounts relevant to the area where supporters are accessing the app.

At Basketball Nova Scotia, we strongly believe that sport has the power to change lives.
We also believe wholeheartedly that every young Nova Scotian basketball player should have equal opportunity to play the game.
That’s why we’re focusing our fundraising efforts on providing financial bursaries for our Provincial Team athletes.
Each bursary is valued at $500, and our goal is to support every athlete selected to compete this summer — a total campaign goal of $24,000!
Your support ensures that each one of our players - who come from all corners of our amazing province - has the chance to be there to represent their province and experience the highest of honours that goes along with wearing the Nova Scotia logo.
Bursary supporters will be entitled to the following benefits:
