It came to my attention that members of our local high school track team were facing a significant hurdle. Due to a lack of resources, students were forced to share track spikes during track and field meets just to compete.
Determined to ensure every student has the equipment they need to succeed, I reached out to the school’s Vice Principal and the track coaches to understand their specific necessities. They immediately identified the most urgent size requirements among the athletes.
After coordinating with the staff, I was able to obtain and donate the following needed equipment:
- 2 pairs of new men’s size 9 spikes
- 1 pair of new men’s size 13 spikes
- 1 pair of gently used size 10 spikes
The impact of this contribution was immediate. The coaches expressed their elation and deep gratitude for the donations. More importantly, they shared that the student-athletes who received their own pair of shoes were incredibly thankful for the support.
