The Shumake Relays started out as the vision of a Detroit businessman who was an all city track and field star in his high school and college days
Detroit, MI – Robert Shumake understands the significance and the impact that organized team sports can have on a young person. He attributes some of his many business achievements to the positive experiences he had as a member of Detroit’s Edwin Denby High School’s track team. As an athlete, Robert saw the big picture and was able to transfer critical life skills from track and field to his real life situations. He learned discipline, dedication, perseverance and teamwork.
During a recent interview, Dr. Robert Shumake announced the planning of the 5th annual Shumake Scholarship Relays taking place in Detroit on April 25, 2009. Since its inception, the event has raised over $30,000 for scholarships to help over 5,000 young people attend college. Robert said, “Track and field kept me out of trouble as it taught me the discipline to focus on being the best I could be. Now I’m giving back to the community by helping today’s young people achieve their dreams.”
The Robert S. Shumake Scholarship Relays is designed to become the premier class A track and field competition for high school students across the nation. Its unique model is unprecedented in that is has a dual focus. The Shumake Scholarship Relay competition highlights both athletic ability and academic achievement.
