Olympic sprinter to launch foundation for inner-city youth

More News

Two-time Olympic sprinter Muna Lee comes home to Central High School to a pep rally of a different sort today.

The 2000 graduate will be launching the Muna Lee Foundation to raise money for college scholarships and to help children from low-income families get shoes, spikes and other track equipment.

Her ultimate goal, said Lee (left) , is to see a track facility built in the inner city.

Lee, who competed in the Athens Olympics in 2004 and the Beijing Olympics in 2008, will kick off her foundation with a luncheon and rally at noon at Central, 3221 Indiana Ave.
