About Track Shack Youth Foundation

The Track Shack Youth Foundation (TSYF) was established in 1994 by Jon and Betsy Hughes, owners of Central Florida’s premier running specialty store and event management company, Track Shack. Since inception, TSYF has donated over two million dollars to healthy community programs! Now, more than ever, youths in our communities are battling serious challenges. It is our feeling that sports and organized athletic programs offer children structure and goals, which are vital to cognitive and physical development. Unfortunately, many schools have to cut back or even eliminate sports/athletic programs due to lack of funding. It is the intention of the TSYF Board that we stand in that gap and try to help support and sustain these important youth programs. Thankfully, with the support of our community and people like you, the Track Shack Youth Foundation has been able to do just that over for many years.
