ACTIVE CHAMPIONS FUND
The Northern Inland Academy of Sport (NIAS) is thrilled to announce our exciting partnership with HealthWISE, an organisation that shares our commitment to fostering a healthier community and investing in the region’s sporting talent. This collaboration promises to build a brighter future for our aspiring athletes.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Celebrating Our Partnership Launch
In perfect alignment with our shared vision, we are launching this partnership during the Olympic Games on the Australian Olympic Committee’s designated ‘Green and Gold Day’, Friday, August 2nd. This day is a celebration of our Olympians participating in the Paris Olympics, including NIAS alum and 2014 Athlete of the Year, Hockeyroo Alice Arnott.
Supporting Our Local Talent
There are many talented athletes in our region like Alice, but for many families, the financial commitment required to pursue these dreams can be prohibitive. Through the HealthWISE-NIAS partnership, we aim to make a real difference by providing much-needed support and resources to our future Olympians from the Northern Inland region.
We are immensely grateful to HealthWISE and its dedicated staff for their generous support and belief in our mission.
