INVESTING IN YOUTH SPORTS … The Bryan Youth Activities Fund, held at the Bryan Area Foundation, awarded $6,000 in grants to various youth sports groups. Each youth program recipient will use the money for their diverse athletic needs, ultimately allowing more local children to participate in that sport and instilling in all competitors the value of teamwork, healthy lifestyles, leadership, and determination.
