At this week's lunch meeting, Marshall Price shared about his involvement with Rocky Mountain Athletics and the work being done to support local high school pole vaulters.

The program provides opportunities for approximately 50 male and female athletes from schools throughout the Helena area, helping them develop speed, strength, agility and confidence through pole vaulting. As athletes progress, they need longer and heavier poles - and equipment can be damaged or broken through regular use.

We’re proud to support Rocky Mountain Athletics and the young athletes who are working hard to improve their skills, compete at a high level and represent our local schools. It’s always rewarding to see how Exchange Club support can make a difference for local youth! ❤️💙
