In these difficult economic times, it’s always great to hear good news about our community coming together to make Long Beach a better place.
A few months ago, Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD) announced that they would have to eliminate the sports program for grades 6—8. My wife Nancy was among those who led the charge to raise more than $190,000 for the program. I’m delighted to report the campaign was successful, and we saved LBUSD’s middle school sports for the 2011—2012 school year. Â
Nancy is a passionate advocate for our Long Beach youth to ensure they have every opportunity to live an active and healthy life. I’m very proud of the work she does in our community.
