About TTCCA
We’re happy you stopped by...
The TTCCA is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization made of up of mostly past, present and future Cary-Grove families. Our efforts center around promoting and providing assistance to the Cary- Grove community’s Cross Country and Track & Tield teams, including the feeder schools. We have four elected Officer roles: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. There are additional Board positions, as well as opportunities for those who want to support the various committees and needs.
We currently host monthly meetings on the 2nd Monday of each month at 7pm in the Teacher’s Lounge at Cary-Grove High School (adjacent to the Cafeteria). The meetings are open and we’d love for you to attend.
Your involvement is what keeps the organization active and allows it to provide support for the youth in our community.
We are dedicated to promoting health and wellness through running events, coaching strategies, and creating clubs for our community to be part of for healthy lifestyles.
