Success4kids Receives $15K Grant
Phoenix-area nonprofit, Success4Kids received an early Christmas gift this November, in the form of a $15,000 grant. The small youth-outreach organization starts after school handball programs in Phoenix high schools. Established in 2001, Success4Kids (S4K) has been guiding youth towards successful futures for nearly 9 years.
The grant came from The Giles W. and Elise G. Mead Foundation, a California-based organization that provides monetary gifts for "activities likely to enhance civilization." The Mead Foundation's Board of Directors selected S4K for this grant based on the organization's previous accomplishments and future program plans.
Success4Kids plans to dedicate most of the Mead Foundation's funding, which has been designated for general operating costs, to its At-Risk Youth After School Program. This will allow Success4Kids to reach out to more youth, plan more enriching activities, and extend the impactful game of handball throughout The Valley.
Success4Kids would like to extend its gratitude to The Mead Foundation and their recognition of the importance of the S4K program.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - Tyree Bastidas, 19, broke through with a big win over Satish Jagnandan, defeating the five-time National champ, 21-18, in the final. Jagnandan opened and maintained a 5-point cushion until the score reached 18-13. Looking up at a 13-18 deficit, Bastidas buckled down for an amazing 12-0 run to snatch the win. The LeeCon singles title continues to elude Jagnandan who has yet to win it.
Considering the talented draw, Jagnandan may have finally run out of gas in the final. In the quarters, Jagnandan edged John "Rookie" Wright 21-19 in a tense nail-biter which featured some controversial calls from the official.
The reward for the win was a match-up against Billy O'Donnell in the semifinals. Jagnandan was up to that challange as well, defeating O'Donnell 21-15 to earn his spot in the final.
On the other half of the draw, Bastidas turned away Cesar Sala 21-14 to earn his match against Jagnandan in the final.  Click HERE for the Men's Open Draw
