ATHLETE DEADLINE TO APPLY FOR THE 2026 GRANT: December 14, 2025
THE BEGINNING
In 2023, Bluestaq began sponsoring Olympic and Paralympic athletes through the Space Unified event, an annual celebration of excellence, teamwork, and national pride.
During those first partnerships, one truth stood out: many of these athletes were carrying the financial weight of their dreams on their own. That realization inspired the creation of The Next Lap Foundation.
THE LAUNCH
In 2025, The Next Lap Foundation officially launched as a nonprofit dedicated to providing direct financial support to Olympic and Paralympic athletes.
With help from Bluestaq and its partners, the foundation awarded its first round of athlete grants, helping recipients cover critical training, travel, and living expenses.
TODAY AND BEYOND
Now entering its next chapter, The Next Lap Foundation continues to expand its reach through new partnerships and sponsorships tied to Space Unified and beyond.
Each year, the foundation aims to support more athletes, invest in their futures, and keep their stories alive long after the Games end.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Your support empowers athletes to pursue excellence and represent Team USA with pride.
