Since 2014, Dara\u2019s Fund has granted $6,800.00 to twelve female athletes in Muskoka.<\/p>\n<p>Dara established the Fund as a way to give back to her community and thank them for supporting her and her family on her journey to the podium. Lynn DeCaro, Executive Director of the Muskoka Community Foundation, noted, &#8220;It is amazing to learn about the amazing female athletes in Muskoka. They are so dedicated to their sport and their community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Former Dara\u2019s Fund grant recipient Natasia Varieur recently represented Canada in an international biathlon competition. DeCaro said, &#8220;We are excited to support athletes like Natasia through Dara\u2019s Fund to help them reach their goals and so thankful to partners like Deerhurst and everyone else who supports the growth of the Fund.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Grant recipients exemplify the principles of fair play, inclusion, respect, participation, and community leadership while also demonstrating a commitment to the True Sport Principles.<\/p>\n<p>Grant recipients will be announced at this year\u2019s Smart &amp; Caring Muskoka Celebration being held on Friday, May 10, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The application deadline is March 15, 2019 at 5 p.m. To apply for a grant from Dara\u2019s Fund, or for more information on the grants, visit www.muskokacommunityfoundation.ca and click on \u2018Applying for Grants\u2019, or contact Lynn at 705-646-1220.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
