BIG MONEY UP FOR GRABS, AND ONE LOCAL
CLUB HOPES TO GET ITS SHARE
Davyz Youth Foundation, September 12, 2009 - For twenty motivated youth sports organizations across the nation, the Liberty Responsible Sports™ program will soon make a very memorable contribution, in the amount of $2500. Davyz Youth Foundation is hoping to be one of them.
Community Grants are part of Liberty Mutual's Responsible Sports program, which is an ongoing effort championing and celebrating responsibility in youth sports. This community-based program offers meaningful, easy-to-use educational resources for youth sports parents and coaches, including
access to on-the-field game and practice preparation tools, as well as self-paced online coursework filled with learning tools and topics addressing youth sports issues.
Additionally, in 2008 Liberty Mutual will honor 50 local coaches through the program's nationwide Responsible Coaching Awards. Parents, fellow coaches and organizations can nominate any local coach (in any sport) who demonstrates responsibility in his or her approach to mentoring and teaching young athletes. One winner from each state will receive a $250 gift card from Liberty Mutual and receive recognition on ResponsibleSports.com.
"The Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports program targets many of the issues we see happening at youth sporting events by shining a positive light on what it means to be a responsible coach and a responsible sports-parent. Beyond that, Liberty Mutual is making a significant financial contribution
to support the efforts of local organizations like [Local team/organization/club name]," said Greg Gordon vice president of Consumer Marketing at Liberty Mutual.
The Responsible Sports program, including the Community Grantss and Responsible Coaching Awards, come at a crucial time for communities like ours. Like other communities across the U.S., our own youth sports programs are under pressure from increasing numbers of participants, limited volunteer activity and mounting program management and administration costs. The Responsible Sports program provides access to valuable resources and assets that can ensure our organizations thrive even under challenging circumstances.
The funds from the Responsible Sports Community Grant will help make the Shooting Starz After-School program available to more communities.
Davyz Youth Foundation is registered for the Responsible Sports program. They are encouraging individual community members to complete one of the self-paced online courses

DAVYZ YOUTH FOUNDATION LAUNCHES WEBSITE
Los Angeles—[September 1, 2008]—Davyz Youth Foundation announced today that it has launched its website at www.davyzkidz.org.
About Davyz Youth Foundation:
Davyz Youth Foundation (DYF) was founded in 2007. Our mission is to bring fitness, the arts and the principles of a healthy lifestyle back to community children. With childhood obesity on the rise and the cost of private programs placing many opportunities out of reach for many urban families, we wanted to develop a program that was available and affordable for all. Hence, Davyz Youth Foundation was born.
Davyz Youth Foundation brings dance, sport and art programs to children in elementary, middle and high school. In addition to learning new skills as part of a program, emphasis is also placed on team and leadership building skills, building self esteem and healthy body images, taking responsibility for ones actions and setting and reaching goals. The overall goal of DYF is to teach skills and principles that will enable children to grow into healthy, successful and productive adults.
