Description

Kicks For Class: Changing the game in middle school students sports participation Hundreds of middle school students have never had the opportunity to participate in team sports simply because they cannot afford the required shoes. Kicks For Class was designed to connect generations and resources so that we can change our future, together. Kicks for Class is the newest program of Communities In Schools of the Coastal Bend, and was created in cooperation with The Heil Law Firm. Participation in team sports has been shown to lead to an increase in school attendance, higher GPAs, involvement with mentors, and exposure to positive peer pressure. Participation in team sports has also been linked to a decrease in dropout rates and involvement in gangs, especially among middle schoolers. This sports gala is fundraising in preparation for the fall event, in which deserving students will be paired up with mentors for a special shopping session for their new sports kicks! Join us Wednesday, April 27th at 7 pm at the Bay Jewel Event Center in downtown Corpus Christi to support our Coastal Bend students. Hear from pro-athletes and local coaches as they share their journey and experiences. Partake in our live auction with your chance to win some amazing prizes including VIP and vacation packages. TASTE by Ricci Near will be serving decadent hearty hors d'eouvres. Tickets start at just $59 and various sponsorships are available. Doors open at 7pm and close at 11pm. Please register each attendee so they can be notified of event updates and auction items! Tickets are non-refundable due to fundraising but can be transfered.
