Active 4 Schools Back-To-School $100,000 Giveaway In Aliso Viejo

ALISO VIEJO, CA — Is your high school the most Active? Active Ride Shops has committed to providing $100,000 cash to Southern California high schools to help support school athletics.

Votes will be collected through Sept. 3 in all 25 of Active’s retail stores with the top schools in each of four districts collecting $25,000 for their school sports program in Los Angeles County, the Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley, Orange County and North County San Diego.

Several Orange County and area high schools have already gotten in on the voting including Aliso Niguel, Anaheim, Beckman, Bolsa Grande, Brea Olinda, Canyon, Capistrano Valley, Chaparral, Dana Hills, Del Norte, El Toro, Esperanza, Foothill, Godinez, La Habra, La Vista, Laguna Beach, Laguna Hills, Los Alamitos, Mission Hills, Mission Viejo, Orange Glen, Portola, Saddleback, San Juan Hills, Segerstrom, Sonora, Trabuco Hills, Troy, Tustin, University, Valencia, Villa Park, and Whittier Christian, a spokesperson said.

The contest is testament to the need for school funding for things like uniforms, equipment, field and stadium improvements, transportation, and more. With California schools continue to face funding challenges and sports programs are typically some of the first to suffer from budget constraints.

"Athletic programs notoriously rely on fundraising and with budgets continuing to tighten, public schools fight to keep sports affordable - if they can keep them at all," they said.

Students, parents, faculty and the surrounding communities are left searching for fundraising options to ensure the sports programs can continue and thrive. Active has stepped in to fill that void, they said.

“Based in Southern California, we know schools are underfunded and it’s important to Active that
we help our communities with funding for youth programs,” said Active President Jenner Heller.
“Kids are passionate about the activities they participate in and we want to do our part in enabling
them to live an Active lifestyle.”

Active has long been committed to giving back to the communities it serves. Last year alone, the
brand raised more than $125,000 for local schools, after school programs, sports teams and
various charities through its Perfect Pair sock program.

For complete details, consumers can visit www.activerideshop.com or stop into their local store. A
complete list of stores is available on their website.

The four regions include: In Los Angeles County (Santa Monica, El Segundo, Long Beach, Downey, Burbank), Inland Empire (Temecula, Rancho Cucamonga, Corona, Riverside, Redlands, Chino Hills, Chino, Menifee), San Gabriel Valley/Santa Clarita Valley/Ventura County/Kern County (West Covina, San Dimas, Bakersfield, Valencia, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks), Orange County/North County (Aliso Viejo, Orange, Irvine, Brea, Tustin, Escondido).
