Pep Project

We believe that having quality equipment and facilities play a vital role in not only the safety of our athletes but the morale of students, their coaches and fans alike.

The 2019 Pep Project Grant will be awarded to allow a middle school or high school in St. Clair County to update facilities or re-furbish/purchase new athletic equipment for a specific sports team or athletic department as a whole. Lelito’s Legacy Foundation will work closely with the school chosen to finalize updates and allocate funds to the correct project. If the project needs some extra hands to cut down on labor costs, Lelito’s Legacy Foundation will gladly recruit volunteers to be sure the job is complete! This year we are awarding $5,000 to a school in greatest need.

If you are an Athletic Director for a Middle School or High School in St. Clair County, please fill out the 2019 Grant Application below, no later than October 18th to qualify for the grant.

The grant recipient will be announced by Lelito’s Legacy Foundation staff at our Legacy Night Fundraiser on November 7th, 2019. You do not need to be present to accept the award, though your support is always appreciated. The grant recipient will have 1 year to complete the project and receive the funds needed.
