SYNC Athlete Fund has allocated $50,000 in grants to help bridge the funding deficit for the sixth consecutive year. The individual amounts range from $500 to $10,000 and will be granted to ski racing athletes chasing the highest levels of competition.

SYNC Performance has set out on a mission to assist athletes in pushing their limits, challenging the status quo, striving for what is beyond the horizon, and giving back.

Over the past five years, the SYNC Athlete Fund has given over a quarter of a million dollars back to athletes across North America who are chasing their dreams.

Last year’s recipients included Simon Fournier, Storm Klomhaus, Patrick Kenney, Lila Lapanja, Hunter Salani, and more.
