CANTERBURY PARALYMPIANS ALUMNI FUND

The Canterbury Paralympians Alumni Fund was developed by Paralympians who wanted to support young and developing ParaFed Canterbury athletes.

Canterbury Paralympians have the opportunity to put their annual membership fee of $40 (and any additional donations) towards the Alumni Fund, which helps support the Para athletes of the future, along with keeping them involved with the organisation.

As the fund accumulated, a scholarship was developed and is awarded each year to a deserving ParaFed Canterbury athlete.
