Promoting Athletic Excellence
Briana Munoz- UISF grant recipient and USA Luge athlete
The Uihlein-Ironman Sports Fund (UISF) of Lake Placid was created by the Henry Uihlein II and Mildred A. Uihlein Foundation, Ironman North America (now known as World Triathlon Corporation), and Adirondack Community Trust. These local organizations have teamed up to help local athletes achieve their sports dreams, and to help nonprofit organizations that foster and promote life-long sports and healthy lifestyles for local kids. The fund focuses on the greater Tri-lakes region and has two main goals for supporting athletes:
Provide financial support for competitive, local, young athletes with regional, national and international promise in traditional winter and summer sports. Provide general program support to local nonprofit organizations that expose area youth to traditional summer and winter sports.
