Kevin Plank’s Cupid Foundation Donates to Baltimore Catholic Schools 

On September 7th, Under Armour Founder and CEO Kevin Plank’s Cupid Foundation announced a $1 million donation to Partners in Excellence (PIE), the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s scholarship program for elementary and high school students in Baltimore City. From The Catholic Review:

“Kevin Plank likes tried-and-tested programs that work,” Geddes said. “Education is how the cycle of poverty is broken, and (with the gift) as many as 100 children could get a chance they would not have otherwise.”

Over the past 20 years, PIE has awarded more than 25,000 scholarships, worth more than $29 million, to children from low-income families. PIE scholars have a 95 percent attendance rate, higher than the Catholic school average.
