Southern Arizona Roadrunners' Children's Fitness Fund

Applications for the 2007 Children’s Fitness Fund are being accepted until June 15, 2007. Please email applications to

Childrens Fitness Fund In 1991, the Southern Arizona Roadrunners established the Children's Fitness Fund to provide money for community endeavors that promote life-long fitness for children. The programs funded by SAR emphasize the development of healthy lifestyles for children, focusing on exercise and nutrition. We seek to fund programs that prepare children for a lifetime of individual exercise, regardless of physical condition or ability; we also seek to fund programs that can integrate into the home. The fund generally provides grants up to $1,000.

The Southern Arizona Roadrunners are once again soliciting proposals for the Fund. Proposals should be typed, double-spaced, and two pages or less. Please provide three copies of the proposal. Successful proposals should include these elements:

Brief description of scope of project, including funding level sought

Description of beneficiaries

Materials required

Budget of potential expenses

Proposals will be accepted between April 15th and June 15th, 2007. Mail completed proposals to:

The Children's Fitness Fund is funded by a 10% contribution from the profit from each of the SAR races. The advisory committee consists of three volunteers from the board of directors of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners. Funds are made available to the selected programs during the final week of August. The disbursement of funds is contingent upon all factors in the proposals remaining the same (i.e., director, children, site, activity, duration, or whatever other factors are deemed essential and pertinent by the advisory committee).

If you have any questions regarding the Fund, please call the SAR office at 326-9383.
