“This grant from LA84 allows Beat The Streets – Los Angeles to expand our positive impact through sport on the lives of Los Angeles teenagers.  All of us feel a great reward with every wrestling program we start and every youth we help. We are thrilled with this grant and thankful to LA84.” – Andrew F. Barth, President of BTSLA.
