There are a number of stories out there of exceptionally talented and strong-willed kids who dreamed of greatness and were able to achieve it because of the support of others. I’m talking about the untold story of the Maui Sugar Ditch Kids, Disney’s most recent film Queen of Katwe, and even Friday Night Lights. Behind any great athlete, there is a network of people who make that athlete’s dream possible. They provide training, guidance, emotional support, and more.
This year, the Olympic International Committee created a grant program for organizations that run effective “sport for all” programs in their communities, i.e. programs that inspire people to live active, healthy lifestyles. Each of the four winners of the grant are to receive a whopping 20,000 USD to put to their respective projects. It’s an amazing way of helping out those who want to excel by giving them the resources they need to do so.
Below’s a look at this year’s winners of the Sport and Active Society grants:
