Hannah Bernard's journey to the PanAm Ultimate Championships

We’re raising funds to help Hannah cover her expenses to compete at the Pan American Youth Ultimate Championships (PAYUC), held July 17–20 in Costa Rica.

Hannah has been a vibrant part of Calgary’s Ultimate scene since 2019, when she joined the Junior Women's Ultimate team as its youngest player. Since then, we’ve watched her grow—both as a player and as a person—into a standout in our community. This spring, she earned the opportunity to represent Western Canada at PAYUC, and we want to do our best to support her adventure!

I've had the pleasure of coaching Hannah in the past, but I knew that I wanted to help her when I saw her coaching the next generation of junior players and sharing her enthusiasm for the sport. She embodies the spirit of giving back to the sport and the community.
