Groups urged to ‘make a pitch’ for Funtastic grants
The non-profit society that organizes the annual music and slo-pitch festival in Vernon is once again looking to give away some of its proceeds to help the community.
The Funtastic Sports Society’s community grant program is now accepting applications for 2024.
“Our mission is “Building a Better Community through Sport,” and the Funtastic Sports Society proudly invites qualifying community groups to submit applications,” President Jamie Austin said. “This year marks the 38th year that Funtastic has contributed back to the community through its donations and grant program.”
Austin said since the grant program got its start in 2009, more than $275,000 has been donated to support non-profit sport, recreation, and community organizations of a sport nature serving the Greater Vernon region.
