Anesto Charles Foundation

After the sudden death of Anesto Charles, friends and family decided to keep alive the spirit of teamwork and leadership in honour of Anesto and formed the Anesto Charles Foundation in 1996. This not only helped to provide facilities and opportunities for Ladner youth, but also helped to inspire them. The Anesto Charles Foundation is a non-profit organization that promotes and encourages the athletic participation of all young people in the community of Ladner.

To date the Anesto Charles Foundation has allocated $11 000 to an outdoor sports’ facility at Delta Secondary and $4 000 in camp scholarships to Ladner’s youth. Funds from the tournaments are also used to provide two scholarships annually for $500 each to graduating students from Delta Secondary School who best exemplifies the qualities of teamwork and leadership while attaining a high standard of athletic accomplishment.
