Pikes Peak Athletics Foundation
Please consider donating to the Pikes Peak Athletics Foundation when you register. The non-profit Pikes Peak Athletics Foundation was formed to reduce financial barriers that may inhibit those of all skill levels from achieving success as swimmers. Limited access to pools, swim lessons, and coaches has long been a deterrent preventing many of lower socio-economic status from participating in the sport of swimming. The foundation develops community outreach programming that includes the full continuum of the swimming experience. The PPA Foundation offers need-based scholarships for water safety education, swim lessons, training and competition.  More information is available at pikespeakathleticsfoundation.org. (Donations to this 501(c)3 charitable foundation are tax deductible.)
