There are more than 100 miles that separate Akron, Ohio and McKeesport, Pennsylvania on a map. But there is a lot of passion, pride and mutual appreciation that bring us close together.
In McKeesport, there is momentum building around the I PROMISE Movement. As one of the first cities to truly embrace our We Are Family philosophy, they are hard at work implementing many of our I PROMISE methods.
Recently, a group of high school students from the McKeesport community, alongside our partners at Dicks Sporting Goods, spent a day with us in Akron to experience our I PROMISE ways up close and better understand how they can take this model back and apply it to their school district.
