Kodiak, purveyor of high-protein, whole-grain breakfast products, and the Youth Sports Alliance, a Utah-based non-profit organization, announced Tuesday they are coming together for the second consecutive year to give thousands of students in Summit and Wasatch counties access to sports and healthy activities after school.Kodiak is the title sponsor for the Youth Sports Alliance’s Get Out & Play and ACTiV8 after-school programs, the goal of which is to inspire students to live healthy, active lives while also promoting good sportsmanship, the groups said.As the title sponsor, Kodiak will provide financial support and “nutritional resources” to Youth Sports Alliance, which will help the alliance’s after school programs and help children regardless of their financial background. 23 schools throughout the greater Park City-area will receive Kodiak products, which the company said are high in protein.“Kodiak is thrilled to be partnering with Youth Sports Alliance for another year as we continue to pursue our mission of feeding epic days and wilder lives,” said Cory Bayers, chief marketing officer at Kodiak. “YSA has been critical to the growth and success of thousands of local students thanks to their programs. Providing these kids with 100% whole-grain, protein-packed food options helps ensure they are leading active, healthy lifestyles and can be set up for success.”Youth Sports Alliance said it serves over 3,800 youth annually and offers “diverse programs that get kids moving and off of their screens.” The nonprofit runs after-school sports and healthy-activity programs, provides fundraising support for seven competitive winter sports teams and offers need-based scholarships through two endowments. This commitment to removing barriers earned them the 2023 Land Rover Defender Service Award for Outdoor Accessibility and Education, which included a custom Land Rover Defender 130, which the alliance said enhances their ability to serve more participants. Other organizations that have recognized Youth Sports Alliance include the Aspen Institute, US Ski & Snowboard and the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition.“The partnership with Kodiak is vital in helping YSA achieve our goal of providing more children with access to sports and healthy activities,” said Emily Fisher, YSA executive director. “By offering both financial support and nutritious snacks, Kodiak enables us to expand our afterschool programs and ensure that students across Summit and Wasatch counties have the tools they need to succeed, both on and off the field.”The post Kodiak and Youth Sports Alliance partner for second year appeared first on Park Record.
