Marin Athletic FoundationProviding Financial Support

For Interscholastic and Intramural Sports

The purpose of the Marin Athletic Foundation is to save and maintainhigh school sports programs in Marin County through communityfundraising.

The Board of Directors of the Marin Athletic Foundation believes that:

- High school sports are a vital part of the high school experienceand provide important and positive educational and develop-mental outcomes for students.

- School districts need community support to keep athletic pro-grams from being eliminated. Declining enrollment and statefinancial support often make it necessary for school boards to cutback in almost all school programs.

- To insure broad participation by all students both interscholasticand intramural programs should remain available.

- An aware community will make a commitment to provide theresources necessary to help the schools keep these programs inplace.

Selection Criteria

The student athletes being honored were selected by their schools inaccordance with the following criteria, developed with the involvement

of school athletic directors and adopted by the Board of Directorsof the Marin Athletic Foundation:

Athletic InvolvementLeadershipScholarship

School-Community InvolvementDeportment

These elements embody values that the Marin Athletic Foundationbelieves are vital in a comprehensive education for all young citizens.
