“I was raised my first eleven years of my life in this small town and I have many beautiful memories of my time there. I remember gathering with other kids in the streets because we did not have any other place to play. Looking back now, I realize how risky it was for us even back then. Now, with the introduction of drugs in our town affecting our younger generations, the dangers have worsened. Project Rescate is the foundation for a better future; our children need something better than playing in the streets.”
— Anne, Vice President
Sports: For a Better Future!
Participation in sports throughout childhood and young adulthood provides youth with more than just an activity to do. Interactive sports encourage positive communication skills, relationships, and offer many educational and emotional benefits.
The construction of this sports complex will go much further than providing a safe place for children and adults to gather and play. Long-term, the town hopes to organize a soccer league, offer classes to the youth, and partner with the local school systems to encourage community building activities!
