$100,000 Available for High School Athletics Through California Casualty’s Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant Program
San Mateo, CA, August 16, 2013. . . California Casualty’s Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant program will receive requests for grants from its $100,000 pool of funding September 15, 2013 through January 15, 2014. Grant applications received after January 15th will be considered the following year. Guidelines and application forms can be found at www.CalCasAthleticsGrant.com.
Shrinking state education budgets, pressure on schools to focus efforts on academics, and diminishing funds for athletics inspired California Casualty CEO, Beau Brown, to establish the grant program in honor of his father – Chairman Emeritus Tom Brown, a lifelong athlete and sportsman.
“Youth sports teach teamwork, discipline and that hard work pays off,” Tom Brown said. “They’re a valuable complement to lessons learned in school.”
The California Casualty Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant program began three years ago, with $25,000 in grants in four states. Since its inception, 154 public high schools across the nation have received over $200,000 in athletics program assistance.
A detailed listing of 2013 grant recipients is attached. For more information about the Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant program, visit www.CalCasAthleticsGrant.com.
