TOWNSHIP RECREATION RECEIVES GAME ON GRANT
Middle Township Grants and Economic Development Director Nancy Sittineri announced the award of a $1,000 Game On Grant from South Jersey Gas. The program is intended to provide critical support needed to sustain local, community-centered sports and athletic programs, leagues, clubs, associations, and recreational organizations for youth.
Grant applicants must serve traditional youth sports, which include Baseball, Softball, Soccer, Football, Basketball, Wrestling, Cheerleading, Volleyball, Tennis, Lacrosse, Golf, Field Hockey, Hockey, and Swimming. The applicant’s program must serve children in any or all age groups between age 4 and 18.
According to South Jersey Gas, the Game On Grant Program is a way to provide support to youth sports programs throughout their service territory. Every application is reviewed carefully, and winning grantees are evaluated on several qualifications and criteria.
“I want to thank South Jersey Gas for this generous donation,” Mayor Chris Leusner said. “These are trying times for our hard-working families. Every donation that can help make our sports programs more accessible and affordable is important and appreciated.”
The Middle Township Recreation Department plans to use the funds to support the purchase of uniforms and sports equipment.
