Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant
Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant

SAN MATEO, Calif. (PRWEB) April 17, 2019 -- Student-athletes at 64 public middle and high schools in 32 states will gain a competitive edge thanks to a 2019 Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant from California Casualty. A total of $67,149 is being given this year to help purchase new equipment, improve player safety, and provide uniforms.

The grant is named for California Casualty Chairman Emeritus Tom Brown, an avid sportsman who has observed that lessons learned on athletic fields – teamwork, confidence and sportsmanship – translate to the classroom and beyond.

The Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grants benefit students and communities, and California Casualty is proud to support that effort.

  • Bassick High School (CT) for a new net system to benefit the girls volleyball team

  • DuQuoin High School (IL) to buy much needed uniforms for the boys basketball team
