HEADLINE:  Giving is a Team Sport.

Nike is a brand that sponsors the most influential sportsmen and women in the world. These individuals include Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Lebron James and Tiger woods to name a few. These superstars are recognized world wide for their different talents and influence in their fields of expertise. As Nike we recognize how influential these individuals are especially to the millions of children across the globe. Our latest initiative is to give back to our communities that have long trusted our brand and continues to support us. Giving is a team sport is how Nike gives back to our communities through a number of fund raisers and events. Nike and its partners aim to continue to inspire kids to dream and giving them the tools they need for them to succeed. https://communityimpact.nike.com/how-we-give more information can be found on our community website.

Our goal is to bring the community together in order to get more kids to graduate from high schools in Oregon and get thjem into university. At the heart of the Nike Innovation Fund lies a unique partnership between Nike and the school heads and local school leaders, the aim of the partnership is a student centered design process that engages young people in the future. The made to play commitment is to get more kids moving so they can have healthier lives. Our Nike community ambassadors are not just getting kids to play and move but are continuing to support their dreams and inspiring them to be active in their lives.

We have also started the N7 project which is The Zuni youth enrichment project that is committed to enhancing the health of the Zuni youth through innovative programs. The slogan for this initiative is Until we all win. Nike is in support of all youth across the globe and will continue to support children from all walks of life.https://n7fund.nike.com/ more information about this program can be found on our N7 website.

As the Division Leader of Oregon community I encourage parents, teachers, coaches and students to join our Nike family in order to positively impact millions of kids lives. Lets get them active and provide an education that will ultimately contribute to the future of our community. We are open to suggestions and our lines are always open.

Nike believes that the future is in the hands of the next generation and we believe that in order for that generation to be successful, we must come together as one and provide the necessary means for these children to be able to lead health and successful lives.
