Ultimate Canada recently announced that their Inclusion Grant, under the Art Hawkins Fund, will now be known as the Craig Kulyk Inclusion Grant.

Craig Kulyk was instrumental in advancing initiatives that support new players, women, transgender athletes, 2SLGBTQIA+ participants, and Indigenous communities. Through his work with the VUL on strategy, partnerships, and signature events, he consistently championed inclusivity and helped make ultimate a welcoming and supportive sport for everyone.

The Craig Kulyk Inclusion Grant will continue to support programs and projects that reflect the values Craig lived and promoted: community, respect, and inclusion in ultimate at all levels. This renaming ensures that his dedication to fostering a positive and inclusive ultimate experience will continue to inspire and impact players and organizations across Canada for years to come.
