June 10, 2016 (Denver, CO) – The National Nordic Foundation (NNF) announced today over $28K in training season funding for grassroots skiing support. “Skiers are made in the summer,” said Hennie Kashiwa, Executive Director of the NNF. “It is impressive and exciting to see how much can be accomplished with the generosity of our donors. It’s thanks to them that so many dedicated, developing athletes will have the critical resources they need to excel when the snow finally flies again.”

Below is the breakdown of this summer’s funding. All NNF allocations are made through the National Nordic Foundation Board of Directors. Athlete selections are made by the USSA coaching staff and events are staffed by USSA certified coaches.
