Joshua LLC Grant

It is important to Joshua LLC that children are physically active to combat the overwhelming amount of childhood obesity in the U.S. today. Regular physical activity for children is essential for healthy development. Involvement in sports has been shown to improve academic performance, resiliency and resourcefulness.

Joshua LLC partners with community sports associations to fund sports participation for individual children and to finance programs that get children moving. They work with community organizations that are already in place so the money goes furthest. This year Joshua LLC has selected the Robbins CalPark Eagles Youth Football & Cheer Association, Inc. as a partner.
