Closing the Sports Opportunity Gap

This grant funds an Original Civic Research & Action (“OCRA”) project seeking to close the sports opportunity gap in the Larchmont-Mamaroneck community by expanding access to club and recreational sports for local children. In the fall of 2023, the OCRA students established a successful lacrosse program at Mamaroneck Avenue School. Building on their lacrosse success and momentum, the grantees will employ a similar strategy to run clinics and design curriculum to introduce baseball and softball to students both outside of school and through physical education classes. This grant will fund the purchase of new baseball and softball equipment to be used for this initiative.

Grantees: Lea Sampayo, Charlotte Noll, Charlotte Foley, and Owen Bischoff
