Fairbanks Youth Sports Continues Support of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Athletics & Top of the World Classic.

Fairbanks Youth Sports, Inc., (FYS) one of the founding sponsors of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ's Top of the World Classic, has presented University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ President Mark R. Hamilton with another $10,000 contribution, bringing the organization's total sponsorship of the basketball competition to $50,000 over the past three years.

In addition, FYS presented a check for $5,000 to University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ Fairbanks Chancellor Joan Wadlow for support, at $1,000 each, of all sports at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ except for hockey and men's basketball (which benefits from FYS sponsorship of the Top of the World Classic). FYS has given more than $30,000 in general support to athletics at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­°æ over the last seven years.

The latest check presentations were made this week by Jim Derringer, president of the board of directors of FYS.
