Empowering Dreams

The Casey De Vooght Para Nordic Scholarship is a testament to the resilience and the belief in the transformative power of sport for individuals living with disabilities.

Conceived by Casey De Vooght, a dedicated Para Biathlete whose own athletic dreams were deferred due to a medical diagnosis, this scholarship aims to pave the way for other para-athletes to overcome obstacles and achieve their aspirations. By channeling her passion for sports into creating a platform for resilience and opportunity, Casey seeks to help para-athletes navigate physical barriers and mental health challenges, empowering them to transform setbacks into triumphs and pursue their dreams despite the odds.
