AYSO Region 154's VIP Program has received a $2,000 grant from The Bandai Foundation - a non-profit organization founded in 1995 by Bandai America Incorporated.

Region 154's VIP Program received one of 50 grants handed out by the Bandai Foundation this past December, and Jim DiRosa - VIP Coordinator for the Region - says that the money will go toward furthering the vision of the program.

"Their funding, along with support from others in our area, has enabled us to serve 125 players and their families in fall 2011," shares Jim. "It will also set the stage for our efforts as we seek to fulfill our mission of inspiring children and adults with special needs through soccer."

Congratulations Region 154!
