About the Webinar

This webinar will share details about the 2026 SPARK Equity Awards. Funding is available to bring SPARK (curriculum, training, and equipment) to organizations and individual PE teachers or physical activity providers who serve in low-income communities. This funding was established by Dr. Thom McKenzie and Dr. Jim Sallis – the two principal investigators who started SPARK in 1989. These awards are offered through the School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences of San Diego State University. This webinar will share information about the different funding categories, the application process, and eligibility requirements.
