We envision a Park City where all children have the opportunity to be active and engaged through sports and recreation. 

Watch this 3-minute video to see the work in action... we promise it will be worth it!

Our goal is to increase access to sports and recreation opportunities for Latinx children in Park City to create a more inclusive and complete community. We would like to see participation in athletics reflect the diverse makeup of our town.

This initiative aims to address several barriers that currently hinder participation for families. Key barriers include communication and outreach, cultural inclusion, and scholarships and gear.


In the last year, the Solomon Fund has:

  • helped facilitate 1,955 Latinx registrations in local sports and recreation programs, from skiing to soccer, dance, karate, gymnastics, and more
  • 97% of registered Latinx students completed their program
  • helped Solomon Fund partner organizations reach an average of 17% Latinx participation
  • 62% of partner organizations reported an overall increase in Latinx participation over the last year
  • during the 2023 grant cycle, Solomon Fund granted $200,000 to organizations intentionally working to increase Latinx participation
  • managed a Facebook page that communicates upcoming opportunities with more than 1,500 followers
  • translated documents for more than 30 organizations as they aim to create more inclusive programming
  • hosted two large-scale registration events, including Solomon Fund Super Sunday, which allowed families to sign up for sports and recreation opportunities as well as access many critical local physical and mental health resources
  • hosted Solomon Fund partner meetings to share best practices, specifically around equity and inclusion
  • promoted community resources and events 
  • partnered with organizations to further develop their scholarship programs
  • been an incredible leader in the Latinx community
