We wanted to give everyone an update on one of the great programs that the foundation was lucky enough to be involved with in 2023. We partnered in 2023 with the Howard County Public Schools after school BRIDGES program. This program, which is set up in many of the Title 1 schools in Howard County is designed to help students move forward academically, by providing an enriching educational environment that complements the daytime curriculum and offers participating students and their families access to high quality education, developmental and recreational services.
The Coach Luby Foundation donated over 50 basketballs, 70 soccer balls, even 40 yoga mats, in addition to all kinds of other sports equipment to 10 middle and elementary schools involved in the program. Not only was it a privilige to be able to see the joy on the face of the teacher’s and student’s faces when we dropped off the equipment, but it was great to see some of the other non sports related activities that were going on in the program every day.
Thank you to Andrea Sykes, who runs the program for HCPSS for letting us be a part of the program, and we hope that as the program grows the Foundation can continue to help and contribute in any way possible.
In addition to being involved in this new program we sponsored another 12 kids who played soccer this fall from Running Brook Elementary. We are hoping to have an announcement on another partnership possibly before year end but will wait for that to be official before announcing anything. Thanks to all those that have contributed financially or with your time this year. It all makes a difference and keep the legacy of Coach Luby going!!
