EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — East Palestine City Schools athletics is dodging serious cuts with help from a grant gifted by the giant retailer, Dick's Sporting Goods. The store announced it is on a mission to help out communities with 75 grants in honor of its 75th anniversary.
After the Norfolk Southern train derailment in February, Pavkovich says the district's athletic budget was cut by more than 50% with a total loss of $70,000. Without help, Pavkovich says the district and community teams would face cuts to help salvage its depleting budget. So, on a whim, Pavkovich reached out Dick's Sporting Goods to ask for help. As he explained,"They took it and ran with it."
