The American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation (ABSF) is seeking grant applications for young cross-country skier programs associated with schools and ski organizations throughout the country.

“The mission of the foundation is to promote cross-country skiing as a fun, energetic activity that is part of an active and healthy lifestyle,” said foundation executive director Ned Zuelsdorff.

Zuelsdorff said the ABSF will award a total of $15,000 in grants with up to $1,000 being awarded to each organization selected.

Priorities for ABSF funding include, but are not limited to, the creation or expansion of young skier programs and first time applicants.

Grant applications are due in the American Birkebeiner office by October 1. The ABSF Skier Development Committee will review all applications received by the deadline and announce grant awards by November 1. The application is available at www.birkie.com/page/show/110413-young-skier-fund.

Anyone interested in contributing to the Young Skier Development Fund should call 715/634-5025 or send a check to ABSF, P.O. Box 911, Hayward WI 54843, designating “Young Skier Development Fund.”
