In line with its commitment to the local community, Deutsche
Bank, along with Digital Asset Holdings, Rekortan, and Nike, is set
to sponsor a youth sprint clinic at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex
on Staten Island from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, September
23.
The event will inaugurate a series of clinics in cities across
the United States organized by Justin Gatlin, the American champion
who bested 2016 Olympic champion Usain Bolt in the latter’s final
100-meter dash to win the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London
last month. Gatlin is the 2004 Olympic gold medalist in the 100m, a
multi-time world champion, and one of the most accomplished
sprinters of his generation.
Gatlin is organizing this important event to promote community
service and inclusion with the help of his mentor, Deutsche Bank
Managing Director and USATF board member Bill Shelton.
The Gatlin Foundation clinics are designed to build cohesion
among the nation’s youth and remove artificial barriers that foment
division.
“USATF supports all its athletes in their efforts to give back
to their communities,” said USATF CEO Max Siegel. “Justin and the
Justin Gatlin Foundation, as well as all Team USATF athletes, will
create inspiring and exciting environments for the next generation
as they continue their journey in the sport through clinics like
these. Justin works daily to instill kindness, confidence, and
competition in youth.”
The event is expected to draw approximately 100 children from
throughout the city, and each participant will receive a free
picture taken with Gatlin. Additionally, four track and field stars
will serve as coaches.
“The event will no doubt incubate new friendships, empathy, and
perspective,” said John Eydenberg, Chairman of the Deutsche Bank
Americas Foundation and Chair of the US Diversity & Inclusion
Council. “Throughout our nation’s history, sports have brought
Americans together time and again by bridging the chasms that have
tragically emerged, and this event is one way that Deutsche Bank
can contribute to this important work. It shows that we really
care.”
