About
PPRYC is an inclusive track and field program nurturing athletes of all abilities, ages 6 - 13 (and now high schoolers too!), as they strive to meet personal fitness goals, navigate the joys and hurdles of competition, and experience the rewards of being a part of a dynamic team. PPYRC currently boasts a roster of over 200 youth athletes, encouraged and challenged by more than 15 devoted volunteer coaches.
What I’m Raising Money For
We are focusing our fundraising campaign on the future! We aim to support our youth athletes with team and travel scholarships and running gear, and provide buses and tents for travel competitions. Your tax-deductible donation will further the mission of the team: supporting youth athletes' participation in the cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track seasons as well as increasing PPYRC's representation at regional and national meets.
Why You Should Give
If you've ever seen PPYRC in action, you know our young athletes bring focus, grit, and passion to their running. The coaching staff demonstrates an unwavering commitment to support each and every child in reaching her or his full potential. The coaches donate 100% of their time in order to help keep registration fees low and the team accessible to all!
