KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Usain Bolt Foundation has donated $6.1 million to six rural high schools to support their preparation for the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) Boys and Girls Athletics Championships (Champs) 2025.

Bolt, through his partnership with PUMA, will provide spikes to support high school athletes while some schools will receive direct financial assistance. This donation will assist in covering essential expenses such as housing, food and transportation for the student-athletes as they prepare for the competition.

The other schools benefitting from this year’s donation are Green Island High, Maggotty High, New Forest High, Sydney Pagon High, and Lacovia High.

Without Bolt's foundation what "country" school or any school at all would receive Puma spikes for free?
