FAR WEST NORDIC ANNOUNCES LOCAL U-25 CHALLENGE GRANT
$1,000 Targeted To Be Raised by Local Division For NCCSEF Program
A local donor has stoked the fire on announcing a Challenge Grant for the National Cross Country Ski Education Foundation (NCCSEF) to benefit ski racers from the age of 20-25 years old (see original article below). In an attempt to raise an immediate $1,000 for young adults, Far West is asking members to donate to the NCCSEF program by either sending them a check directly, or sending money to Far West Nordic noted specifically for the "Stanley Grant." When our division reaches $500, this donor will match that amount for a total of $1,000. To donate to this program, please mail in a check to P.O. Box 10046, Truckee, CA 96162. Note that it is for NCCSEF. To donate via our website, CLICK HERE.
A Matching Grant from a generous donor (one who has supported Far West Nordic for years as well) was been announced by the National Cross Country Ski Education Foundation (NCCSEF) to benefit ski racers from the age of 20-25 years old. Far West Nordic has recognized the need to keep these former juniors ski racing at high levels, and this "Stanley Grant" from NCCSEF is a great start. If $50,000 is raised from NCCSEF to match the grant, there will be $100,000 available for top skiers in each region starting in 2008. For more information on this exciting program, CLICK HERE. |
