Our goal is to ensure that all youth in the Elk Valley can be
exposed to the fun, excitement and life long benefits of sports, the
arts and education. The Emily Brydon Youth Foundation was established
in 2006 to provide financial assistance to youth in the Elk Valley, who
do not otherwise have the financial means, in pursuing sports, the
arts, education or other positive pursuits in order to pursue their
individual interests and dreams.
Reflecting
the spirit, personality and humble roots of its founder, world-class
alpine skier Emily Brydon, the Foundation’s goal is to help Elk Valley
children and their families realize the personal, developmental and
health benefits of pursuing life skills beyond those offered in the
public school environment.
The
Foundation is now open to applications from youth of all ages who are
residents of the Elk Valley between the towns of Elko and Elkford. The
child must be registered or plan to be registered in a recognized and
instructed program to pursue sport, the arts or educational objectives.
At the Emily Brydon youth
Foundation, we believe that financial restrictions should not prevent
anyone from being involved in activities which promote and build
self-confidence, character and team spirit.
Our
newly established Foundation is willing and eager to secure the
necessary equipment and registration fees to ensure all Elk Valley
Youth have the opportunity to pursue their interests and passions.
Emily has personally experienced the benefits of pursing your passion
to its highest levels. We hope that through the Foundation other Elk
Valley residents can experience the thrill and challenges of their area
of interest from the local to the international level.
Application forms can be found at www.emilybrydonyouthfoundation.com
We have an open application system so please apply any time. I would recommend applying in the fall and the spring for the appropriate programs as we have a winter and summer budgets respectively.
