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.
