ATHLETIC PROGRAM
The Full Story
In 2024, The SCFFL Foundation launched its own athletic program designed to support promising youth from the Santa Cruz County and Pajaro Valley area who possess remarkable athletic abilities but may face financial barriers to pursuing their sports.
Each year, we aim to expand our efforts and support more high-performing young athletes by allocating grants for club fees and equipment needs.
