Thank you to Dick's Sporting Goods for donating $10,000 to the Lake Minneola High School athletics department! The check was presented late last month at the grand opening of the new Clermont Dick's & Golf Galaxy Performance Center at 4850 Collina Terrace.
The money will be used to purchase equipment and technology for athletic training and to upgrade facilities to crate a safe and more effective training environment.
"Words cannot fully express our gratitude for the incredibly generous grant you have awarded to our sports program here at Lake Minneola High School," Dr. Kerry Whetro, math teacher and head baseball coach, wrote to Dick's after learning of the award. "This is more than just funding; it is an investment in the dreams and potential of our young athletes. We believe deeply in the power of sports to teacher valuable lessons about teamwork, discipline, resilience, and healthy competition. Your grant will directly contribute to our ability to provide these opportunities and to shape the lives of these young individuals in positive ways."
