Meet The Coaches
We will have a "Meet the Coaches" event on January 21, 2012 from 11-4pm at Vincenzo's Pizza Saugus (28048 Bouquet Canyon - corner of Plum Canyon). This is a great way to get to know the coaches, ask questions you may have, we will also accept sign up paperwork if the club has not filled by then*. Vincenzo's will make a donation to the club for sales made during the event, so come join us for our first track event of the year. Please be sure to tell them you are with the Storm.
 
*Last year the team was full by Jan 15th. I suggest that you get your paperwork sent in early.

Tis The Season For Giving
As many of you know, The Santa Clarita Track Club relies heavily on the donations from families, sponsors and companies in order to run our track programs throughout the year.

 

Keep in mind, we are a non-profit organization which makes all donations tax-deductible!

 

As the year comes to an end, if you could please see if the company or organization you work for offers a "Matching Gifts" program. We would greatly appreciate if you would submit any donations you made to the Santa Clarita Track Club in 2011 to your company for a "Matching Gift". It's an easy way for your donation to double and it helps contribute to our 2012 programs!

Donations Still Sought

Justin Baltau

Justin Baltau found out on May 21st that he had stage 3 cancer, this young man was a star athlete on the Santa Clarita Track Club, was now fighting for his life. Justin underwent 200 hours of chemotherapy, there were many ups and downs, transfusions of blood, and it was a very tough war, but on September 20th Justin was in remission! He is CANCER FREE!!!

 

The Santa Clarita Track Club is committed to help see this young man through this difficult time. We have been by his side stride by stride as he went over the hurdles that life threw at him. The Members of the Storm Track Team gave blood, platelets, and much needed funds. Now we are seeking donations to help this family, because his war with cancer isn't over yet, there will be many check ups and there still are outstanding expenses. 


 

You can mail in a donation in any amount, just put Community Grant Fund in the note line. Or Click hereto visit our online donation center.
