a) The Dr. Michael Perchinsky
Scholarship Fund:
This scholarship is for
athletes that train, swim and compete for Island Swimming at a
senior national/ international level and are pursuing or about to
pursue post secondary education. Dr. Perchinsky has committed to
contribute $10,000.00 per year for the next 10 years. Up to
$5,000.00 per year will be awarded annually to one or more
athlete(s). The remainder will go toward developing a legacy
fund.
b) The Rick Say Bust Out Swim of the
Year Award:
This is to be awarded on an
annual basis to an Island Swimming athlete(s) competing at a
national level that had a breakout swim that propelled them to the
next level. Up to two $1,000.00 awards will be awarded annually.
Rick Say has donated $4,000.00 to start this award. This has been
matched by a further $4,000.00 from John Alexander and the law firm
Cox Taylor. To date $3,000.00 has been awarded. ISA’s goal is to continue to develop
this as a legacy fund.
Island Swimming-High Performance Fund Project P
105
The monies from this fund will be used to
support the training and travel costs of Island Swimming national
level athletes. Again the goal is to use half of the contributed
funds annually and use the other half to build a legacy fund for
on-going athlete support. Please be a part of the Olympic dream and
help our athletes reach the success they work so hard to
achieve.
