Beem Credit Union and BC School Sports team up to launch Beem Equipment Access Program

British Columbia – Beem Credit Union is teaming up with BC School Sports (BCSS) to launch the Beem Equipment Access Program, ensuring financial barriers don’t prevent students from participating in school sports.

This initiative provides essential gear—wrestling singlets, soccer cleats, volleyball shoes, and more—to students in need, helping them stay active, engage in sports fully, and develop valuable life skills.

This partnership underscores Beem’s commitment to youth, education, and community wellbeing. "Sports teach teamwork, resilience, and leadership," said Brian Harris, CEO of Beem Credit Union. "We believe every student should have the chance to experience these benefits, and we're committed to removing barriers to participation."

"Beem’s support is instrumental in helping us expand our ability to provide student-athletes with the equipment they need. Together, we’re making school sports more inclusive and accessible, creating new opportunities for the next generation," added BCSS Executive Director Jordan Abney.
