The Windsor Lancers are proud to recognize IG Wealth Management as the Community Engagement and School Day Partner of the 2026 U SPORTS Men's Volleyball Championship.
 
Through IG's support, more than 1,000 elementary and secondary school students from across Windsor-Essex will attend the opening session of the national championship on Friday, March 13 at the Toldo Lancer Centre. By sponsoring student tickets, IG is helping remove financial barriers and ensuring young people across the region can experience a national championship event firsthand.
 
"At IG Wealth Management, we believe in investing in potential early," said Trevor LeDrew, Regional Vice President at IG Wealth Management. "Bringing over a thousand students into a national championship environment is about more than sport — it's about showing young people what's possible in their own community. If even one student leaves inspired to pursue post-secondary education or to challenge themselves in new ways, that's impact that lasts."
 
The School Day initiative will introduce students to the energy and excellence of U SPORTS competition while also providing exposure to campus life at the University of Windsor. For many in attendance, this will be their first time stepping onto a university campus and their first time witnessing a national championship event.
 
"IG has been a long-standing and values-driven partner of the Windsor Lancers," said Eric Vandenbroucke, Associate Athletic Director for the Windsor Lancers. "Their commitment consistently goes beyond visibility. Whether it's through the IG Empowerment Program, the IG Champions Cup, or now supporting School Day at a national championship, IG continues to invest in access and opportunity for young people in Windsor-Essex."
 
IG's support of the U SPORTS Men's Volleyball Championship reflects a broader partnership rooted in youth development and community engagement. Through initiatives like the IG Empowerment Program and the IG Champions Cup, IG has demonstrated a sustained commitment to strengthening both campus and community.
As the Windsor Lancers prepare to welcome the nation's top men's volleyball programs, IG Wealth Management's leadership ensures the impact of the championship extends well beyond competition — reaching classrooms, families, and future leaders across Windsor-Essex.
 
The Windsor Lancers thank IG Wealth Management for their continued partnership and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the next generation.
