SAHOF GROWTH & RETENTION GRANT PROGRAM 2012
Members of the SAHOF Board,
It has been my privilege to assist SAHOF this year with the administration of the 2012 SAHOF Growth & Retention Grants. Applications were received by 12 organizations, several of them new to the grant program. All 12 were funded at some level, with over $33,000 in grants awarded this cycle.

The programs participating in the 2012 SAHOF Growth & Retention Grant Program are:

Everblades In-House Program
Glacier Ice & Snow
Jacksonville Barracuda YHA
Jr. Lightning Girls Program
Kendall Ice Arena YH
Palm Beach Skatezone - Dreams on Ice
Panthers Amateur Hockey Association
Pines Hockey Association
SW Florida Youth Hockey Association
Tim's Kids
Volusia Youth Hockey Association
Northwest Florida Hockey League

Each recipient has been notified of their grant award and the initial distribution, which is 75% of the total award, has been sent to each program (see attached sample letter). The balance of the grant award will be sent upon receipt of a final report in December.

I look forward to assisting in the timely completion of this SAHOF initiative and congratulate you on your continued efforts to grow the sport of hockey in our Florida community.
Best Regards,
Sharon Sullivan
