The Uhl Scholarship
The Uhl Scholarship is dedicated to the lasting memory of Anton Uhl, a valued and cherished community member and father. Creative and charismatic, Anton loved his family and community as well as his passion for art and music.
Originally seeking out parkour for his son Griffin, a somewhat shy, energetic 13-year-old, Anton quickly became an irreplaceable member of the Parkour Generations community with his unbridled enthusiasm and energy.
Anton brought three things to the Parkour Generations community. Firstly, he was a caretaker. He quickly became the host and the bringer-together of people. He looked after everyone with care and affection. Secondly, he was an explorer. He liked to find new places to explore, with or without parkour, and liked to meet new people and encourage them to join the community. Also, he was an artist. For many years, he was the main artist in residence for Parkour Generations Boston. His work adorned much of our equipment, and people can interact with that artwork to this day.
This scholarship is aimed at helping support students in art and music programs who want to take better care of their bodies but might not have the budget to do so. Pursuing creative passions is demanding enough without the additional cost of fitness or class fees. This scholarship gives you access to our movement classes so you can support your creativity in the physical world the way you deserve to.
Why It Exists
Physical movement supports creative flow, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. However, fitness classes can be cost-prohibitive, especially for artists trying to make a living through their art. At Parkour Generations, we believe that fitness shouldn't be a luxury; it should be accessible to everyone, especially artists who pour so much into their work. We want to help you feel stronger, more energized, and better equipped to chase your dreams.
