With these funds I will purchase healthy snacks for the students on my middle school track team. Nutrition is important for athletes at any age but is especially important for growing adolescents. When I started coaching track last year, students often complained of stomach-aches early into practice. I quickly realized that it was because they were eating snacks of hot cheetohs and other candy right before practice. They were hungry, but only had access to junk food. I will use the funds from this project to offer a healthy alternative of Clif Kid Z Bars. These bars are organic, made from whole grains, include 12 vitamins and minerals, and taste good so the kids love them!

My runners have already been hard at work training for their first 5K three times per week since the beginning of March. There are 6 weeks left of the season and 5 athletes, so we need a total of 90 snack bars. They come in packs of 36, so 3 packs at $25 each will cost $75, plus shipping, tax, and processing fees. Please support my hard-working, enthusiastic young runners by helping them get the nutritious snacks they need and deserve!
