August 13, 2012- Summer Dreamers campers have a new pep in their step today. The Swim and Water Polo participants received free pairs of sneakers, thanks to Elite Runners and Walkers. Well, the shoes aren’t exactly free to the 60 campers. They’ll work off, or shall we say run off, the money by participating in the upcoming GNC Liberty Mile event. This afternoon, they tried on their shoes and tested them out by jogging in the Hill District. In addition to the new kicks, the students will receive free registration provided be the Pittsburgh Three Rivers Marathon. The GNC Liberty Mile takes place on Friday, August 17, 2012 at 7p.m. on Liberty Avenue from 17th street in the strip to 6th street, Downtown.

Among them:
•Pittsburgh, whose “Summer Dreamers Academy” has used federal stimulus funding to target middle-schoolers. “
