California Casualty is now accepting applications for 2023/2024 Thomas R. Brown (TRB) Athletics Grants. Public middle and high schools wishing to receive $1,000 for their returning sports program(s) are invited to submit their application at www.calcasathletics.com before the January 15, 2024 deadline.
It’s no secret that participation in youth sports offers health benefits, including physical fitness and mental wellness. Student athletes learn teamwork and problem-solving skills, have an outlet to reduce stress and boost their self-esteem, and tend to do better academically.
“California Casualty has been supporting educators for more than 70 years, and we understand the important role of youth athletics. We are honored to assist students, schools and their communities through the California Casualty Athletics Grant Program,” said Mark Pitchford, Executive Vice President, Chief Experience Officer.
The grant program was named for California Casualty Chairman Emeritus Tom Brown, an avid sportsman who experienced the positive impact of playing sports as a youth. Previous grants have been used to improve player safety, cover participation fees and purchase much needed equipment.
Public middle and high schools whose sports programs have been impacted by budget restrictions and limited fundraising opportunities can apply for a 2023/2024 California Casualty $1,000 TRB Athletics Grant at www.calcasathletics.com. Since its inception in 2010, the Program has given $839,550 to financially burdened athletics programs in public schools across the country. As always, the only requirement to apply is that you are an active ACSA member. Deadline for applications is January 15th 2024.
