Running Shoes On The Feet To Compete

Help me give my students running spikes for cross country and for track season.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Williams's classroom raised $290

My Project

The student population that I teach and coach is often left without valuable tools such as these watches to track their fitness. I am requesting these running shoes for my incredible, hardworking, and competitive student-athletes, who otherwise could not dream of affording such an item.

A obstacle my students face in competing with larger programs from wealthier neighborhoods is obtaining a quality pair of running sneakers to help them with their training and keep them injury-free.

Please help my student-athletes get their season off to a great start, with quality shoes on their feet. These shoes will go a long way to accomplishing this task. Thank you for any help you can provide our team and our Athletic Boosters.
