LAKE PLACID — Applications to Adirondack Foundation’s Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund are now being accepted.
The Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund (UISF) was established by the Henry Uihlein II and Mildred A. Uihlein Foundation, Ironman North America — now known as World Triathlon Corporation — and Adirondack Foundation. These organizations teamed up to help athletes from Lake Placid and the Olympic region achieve their sports dreams and to help nonprofit organizations that foster and promote life-long sports and healthy lifestyles for local kids.
Eligible applicants include competitive athletes aged 15 and older in the greater Lake Placid/Olympic region with regional, national and international promise, as well as nonprofits, schools and municipal programs that involve area youth in traditional sports. Race fees, training camps, travel, equipment and organized club activities all qualify as acceptable expenses.
