Clayton Gerein Legacy Fund
The Clayton Gerein Legacy Fund was established to provide financial assistance to future Paralympians involved in wheelchair sports. Assistance will help athletes following in Clayton’s athletic tracks attain equipment, training, coaching, and competition needs. Clayton’s legacy is much bigger than just these funds. He introduced sport to many people with a physical disability and helped jump start the athletic careers of several local athletes including Lisa Franks and Miranda Biletski.We would like to recognize the Office of the Provincial Secretary and the Government of Saskatchewan for their support in funding this grant.
Athletes need to apply for this grant on an individual basis, and should be recognized as a member by SWSA. Athletes may apply more than once in successive years.
A five person selection committee will review grant applications. They will determine the recipients of the grants based on the following considerations:
- Athletes must be current active members and in good standing with the SWSA.
- Athlete must be training in Saskatchewan; exceptions will be made providing that the athlete can substantiate one of the following:
- He/she is training out of province as part of a formal NSO-sanctioned training program.
- That he/she cannot receive the required level of training in Saskatchewan and as a result has relocated out of the province (i.e., due to lack of facilities, coaching, competition, national team requirements).
- That he/she is attending a post–secondary institution out-of province.
- Other extenuating circumstances that require the athlete to be out of the province.
- Athletes must demonstrate a desire and plan to attain the next level of competition in their chosen sport.
- Athletes should demonstrate a desire to give back to their community in a manner that suits their personality, talents, interests and time available.
- Athletes have competed for at least one year in the sport for which they would use this funding.
- Athletes must be participating in a current Paralympic Sport (this is subject to change depending on which sports are participating in the current sport cycle)
Applications are accepted from June – August each year and a new form will be shared.
