The Finish Line Inc concluded its 11th annual holiday fund-raising campaign through its Finish Line Youth Foundation with record results of $1,044,036. Finish Line store associates and managers collected customer donations in 701 Finish Line stores across the country.

For more than a decade, the Finish Line Youth Foundation has asked customers to help support kids in their community by making a donation to the Foundation. This year was no different.

From November 8 through December 31, every Finish Line store across the country and www.finishline.com endeavored to raise funds to "Help Kids Play." All Finish Line customers who donated received a coupon booklet with offers totaling $50 in savings on future purchases.

"We created the Finish Line Youth Foundation to provide kids all across the country with new and improved opportunities to grow through sport, recreation and fitness," says Kevin Flynn, President of the Foundation. "The funds raised this year will allow the Foundation to support many more deserving organizations around the country who immediately need our help."

Some of the organizations that received funding from the Finish Line Youth Foundation in 2007 include: Girls on the Run San Francisco, Denver SCORES, Camp Quality USA, Northwest Burn Foundation, West Cobb Youth Athletic Association, Grand Rapids Wheelchair Sports Association, Jock's of Greater Philadelphia, Camp Courant, Ramapo for Children and the Latin American Community Center.
