Northstar Foundation Supports Full Time Athletes and Offers 20 Grants

Committed to having one of the best teams in the region, the Foundation recognizes that having additional opportunities to train is an essential element in an athlete's ability to grow and progress. Additionally, the Foundation recognizes that attracting and retaining high-quality coaches starts at the top with strong full-time coaching. We are offering 20 grants to build our full-time team which, in turn, supports our entire coaching staff.

The grants are designed to increase participation in the Plus Programs and partially offset the cost of the Plus Program for 20 lucky participants. Grants are offered to the first 20 applicants.

• Grant amount for Development Teams is $100 per athlete.
• Grant amount for Competitive Teams is $150 per athlete.
• No application will be accepted without the required information, outlined below.
• Multiple athletes in a family may apply.
• Grant checks will be mailed by July 15, 2013.

 Parent Community

The Northstar Team Foundation (NTF) is being revived! One of our goals is to foster a strong parent community and, to that end, we are creating a much needed parent directory. In order to conform with Vail policy however, Northstar Ski & Board Team needs the consent of registered families, to share email contact information with the NTF.

Don't be left out of the loop—from parties to play dates, cocktails to carpooling. We parents know that communication is key!

Email Jana if you want to be included in the Parent Directory

Of course, your contact information will not be distributed or use for anything other than Foundation-related business and you can opt-out at any time. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Jana Klein, janaklein@comcast.net.

Thank you,

The Northstar Foundation Board
