North Star Grant Program
Shaping the Future of the Club and Cross Country Skiing
Norm Oakvik, a club founder, donated a part of his estate to NSSTC to support the club and to further grow the sport of Nordic Skiing in Minnesota.
Each year the North Star Grant program seeks, evaluates and funds worthy projects.
