Athlete Recovery Fund provides charitable medical and educational assistance to professional athletes who participate in Freestyle BMX (Dirt Jumping, Street, Park, Vert, Big Air, Flatland), FMX (Big Air, Step Up, Freestyle, Speed and Style) and Skate (Street, Park, Vert, Big Air).
"Professional" status is achieved in the eyes of ARF once a company licenses an athlete's likeness to market or sell their product in return for monetary compensation.
Example: An athlete who has a sponsorship and receives any money from that sponsor in a calendar year. Product sponsorships or "flow deals" do not qualify. The sponsor must pay the athlete actual money.
Ultimately every grant provided must be approved by the board.
Other restrictions may include but are not limited to Emergency Medical Assistance regardless of financial need and long term medical and educational assistance based strictly on financial need. |
