INC. <br />Maximizing Human Potential for Life! <br />TO: <br />City Administrator <br />Joel Hanson <br />FROM: Greg Cylkowski <br />Sports for Life (SFL) <br />RE: Youth Sports Grant Resolution <br />DATE: July 1, 1998 <br />I would like to take this opportunity to follow -up on our recent meeting whereby I would like to be on <br />the July 8, 1998, City Council agenda regarding a resolution for a Youth Sports Grant with the "Mighty <br />Kids" state funded program. <br />As I indicated to you, (SFL) has applied to the Minnesota Amateur Sports commission (MASC) for a <br />$2500.00 grant which would be utilized to subsidize the "All- American Girl Hockey Program" which <br />will take place in August. (SFL) will be the sponsoring agency liable for all expenses incurred during the <br />program. <br />If approved, the grant dollars would be funneled to assist young women who otherwise would not be able <br />to afford to attend. Thus, a financial aide scholarship program has been available for the past three years <br />to assist underprivileged and urban youth (see enclosure). <br />It is (SFL)'s goal to identify and offer this opportunity to girls who reside locally here in the community. <br />The criteria to receiving aide is outlined in the scholarship application whereby references are checked to <br />determine actual financial need. <br />In the past 2 years, funds have been allocated to attendees as follows: <br />30% paid full registration <br />40% paid partial registration <br />30% attended at no cost <br />Keep in mind that (SFL) is the only sports organization in the state that offers such a financial aide <br />program for its participants to attend its camps and clinics. <br />I look forward to being available at the upcoming city council needing in the goal of working together to <br />enhance athletic opportunities for area youth. <br />Page 101 <br />3036 Ontario Road 0 St. Paul, MN 55117 0 (612) 484 -8299 0 Fax (612) 484 -8311 <br />
