ABOUT SEAN
Sean Mooney was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and a Miles Macdonell Highschool graduate 03'. During his time at MMC, he helped his team win the MHSAA provincial soccer championships and afterward, recruited to play at Ivy League school Cornell University in New York for his post secondary education.
Sean, spent most of his childhood on the soccer field. He was first introduced to Right To Play as a teenager when his parents made a donation to the organization in his name for his birthday.
“I was impressed by the philosophy of this charity which uses sports to teach, empower and enrich the lives of children in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world," he says. "Given the integral role sports played in my personal development, I recognized the transformative potential of Right To Play’s goal.”
Sean played soccer as an undergraduate at Cornell University before starting his career in finance. Since graduating, he has participated in various charity endurance races and sporting events. Highlights include the Enduro Challenge ultra distance triathlon from London to Paris, the Fight For Independence boxing event, and becoming the inaugural ‘Battle of the Bankers’ Chessboxing Champion.
