Grants for Community Projects
Empowering Our Youth to Support Each One Another
Sam Jackenthal was more than just an athlete. While Sam was a talented, fearless, and committed athlete, he was also generous and kind. It was through his character, not his talent, that Sam left behind a legacy of positivity in his community.
We aim to meet the most pressing unfulfilled needs of Park City Area youth. Through our scholarship program, we inspire and grow the social and emotional health of our community's youth by proving opportunities to pursue their passions, give back to the community, and live life to the fullest, just like Sam did.
