Two boxes of brand-new running shoes arrived at Cascade just in time for 18 track athletes to put them to use for their second track meet this season. A $600 Excel Grant from the Highline Schools Foundation was behind this exciting event.

Track athletes from Cascade showing off their new running shoes.
After students had applied for shoes and knew they had been selected as a recipient, they could barely wait to try on those much-needed running shoes.
Cascade was able to partner with Brooks, a local company who generously provided high quality running shoes for a low price, making the grant money go farther.
After students tried out their new shoes during track practice there were a lot of comments like, “I really like them, I can run better now."
From all track athletes at Cascade a huge thank you to the Foundation and Brooks!
