**Ramon Murillo III Foundation Supports Tucson Students in Sports**

The Ramon Murillo III Foundation is dedicated to helping children in Tucson, Arizona, participate in sports. The foundation focuses on aiding students in the Tucson Unified School District who may not have the financial means to afford shoes for school or athletic gear to play sports.

Recently, the foundation facilitated a special event at Mission View Elementary School, where students received free Nike shoes. The event took place at the Nike Store in Tucson Premium Outlets, allowing the entire student body to select shoes and socks at no cost. This initiative was made possible through the foundation's efforts.

The Ramon Murillo III Foundation was established five years after the passing of Ramon Murillo III, who had a passion for athletic shoes. The foundation aims to support this passion and promote sports participation among children, helping them become active and confident leaders in their community. Students expressed their gratitude by writing thank you notes to the foundation.
