NFL superstar Ndamukong Suh is congratulated by Portland Observer Publisher Mark Washington
during a Grant High School ceremony Thursday in which Suh made a major contribution, joining Nike
and other donors to pay for the complete renovation o f the school’s football and track facilities.
Two Powerhouses Help Grant
Ndamukong Suh
and Nike team up
for track and field
NFL superstar Ndamukong Suh returned back
to his native Grant High School bearing gifts.
Suh through his Ndamukong Suh Family Foun
dation donated 250,000 to his high school alma-
mater at a ceremony on Thursday at the north
east Portland school to mark the completion of a
12 year fundraising effort for a new turf athletic
field and new synthetic track.
Portland City Commissioner Nick Fish said
Suh’ s contribution was pivotal in achieving com
plete funding for the project.
“Two powerhouses helped close the final fund
ing this project, Nike and Ndamukong Suh.” Fish
said.
Nike provided a generous grant of $350,000;
joining the Portland Parks and Recreation Bu
reau allocation of $452,000; the Portland Public
Schools’ contribution o f $391,000; along with
smaller donations from Friends of Grant Athlet
ics.
Grant students have never had a turf athletic
playing surface. The goal is to have the field and
track completed before the start of the high
school football season.
