Red Deer Games Foundation accepting financial aid applications for athletes

The Red Deer Games Foundation (RDGF) is now accepting applications for financial assistance for athletes in Red Deer and the surrounding area.

The grants are awarded to individuals who have demonstrated a high level of ability, strong commitment to their sport or achieved competence at the international, national, provincial, or regional level.

The athletes represent a variety of sports recognized by Provincial Sport Associations within the province of Alberta.

Officials state the grants may be used by elite athletes to help offset the costs of training and equipment as they continue to pursue their training and competition programs.
