Recognizing how hectic end-of-year and new-semester start times are for educators, California Casualty has extended the application deadline for its Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant program to February 15, 2012.
The 2012 California Casualty Thomas R. Brown Athletics Grant program will distribute a total of $75,000 in grants of $1,000 or more to support public high school athletics programs across the nation.
California Casualty established the grants program because education budget cuts have drastically reduced support for school athletics, in some cases forcing programs to shut down altogether. Chairman Thomas R. Brown experienced the positive impact of playing sports as a youth. “Athletes learn teamwork, discipline and that hard work pays off,” he said. “They’re a valuable complement to what’s learned in the classroom.”
Applications must be submitted by a member of CTA who is an employee of the school that seeks grant support, and they should be received by California Casualty no later than February 15, 2012. California Casualty will notify selected schools and present them with checks by May 2012. For forms or more information and guidelines, visit www.CalCasAthleticsGrant.com.
