Oak Ridge Elementary

Founded in 2008: BE CHANGE Running Club was started by a nonprofit as community outreach for inner city children. Currently BE CHANGE has 50 participants. Many of these children run in stocking feet on the field because their footwear is so marginal. Upon completion of the program, each student runner gets a donated backpack, t-shirt (provided by Fleet Feet Sports Sacramento), and shoes (provided this year by Asics and New Balance) on race morning before the Kaiser CIM marafun run. The coaches also came together to assist in Filler Friday, where they stuff loaves of bread and peanut butter (donated by the local food bank) into backpacks of running club kids who don’t have food at home on weekends. Each year, the Be Change coaches select 20 children from the program for a road trip to a college campus In 2009, they visited the campus of the Oregon Ducks and in 2010 they went to the U.S.C. campus and ran with college athletes on the practice track. It is called the I Never trip because most of the kids had never left their hometown and none had ever been to a college campus.
