Paladin Scores $3,500 in Community Grants
Paladin Sports Outreach received a welcome boost to its funding recently, thanks to the generosity of two community-minded groups. The Florence Copper Community Foundation awarded Paladin a $1,000 grant, while Pinal 40 contributed an additional $2,500 to support the organization’s mission.
These grants will help Paladin Sports Outreach continue its valuable work providing athletic opportunities and mentorship to young people in Pinal County. The funds are expected to go towards program expansion and scholarship programs to ensure that all interested youth can participate regardless of financial circumstances.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support of Florence Copper Community Foundation and Pinal 40,” said Jason Best, founder of Paladin Sports Outreach. “Their generosity will directly impact the lives of local kids, giving them the chance to stay active, build confidence, and develop important life skills through sports.”
As Paladin Sports Outreach looks to expand its Pinal County programs in the coming year, these grants provide a solid foundation for growth and community impact.
