NASC SPORTS LEGACY FUND DONATES $14,000 TO OKLAHOMA CLEATS FOR KIDS

“The Sports Legacy Grant is helping C4K with opportunities to help more kids,” said Stacy McDaniel of Cleats for Kids. “We have purchased four bins for sporting goods collections and will be purchasing three permanent outdoor collection bins for locations around the Oklahoma City area. Also, our programs director, who has been a part time employee, has moved to full time. This is making a big impact on C4K’s ability to reach more kids.”

In addition to the grant, NASC members also donated sporting goods and event t-shirts. Softball cleats from the International Softball Federation outfitted two junior varsity and two varsity high school teams, t-shirts are used by the Boys and Girls Clubs and community centers as incentives in sports and studies and donated Frisbees are being used in a community project to get kids active to fight obesity.
