Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, April, 21, 2010 – For twenty youth sports organizations demonstrating their commitment to responsibility on and off the ice, Liberty Mutual will soon make a very memorable contribution, in the amount of a $2,500 Responsible Sports™ Community Grant. The Chippewa Youth Hockey Association is hoping to be one of them.

Community Grants are part of Liberty Mutual’s Responsible Sports program, which is an ongoing effort championing and celebrating responsibility in youth sports. This community-based program offers meaningful, easy-to-use educational resources for youth sports parents and coaches, including access to on-the-field game and practice preparation tools, as well as self-paced online coursework filled with learning tools, videos, and topics addressing youth sports issues.

“The Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports program targets many of the issues we see happening at youth sporting events by shining a positive light on what it means to be a responsible coach and a responsible sports-parent. Beyond that, Liberty Mutual is making a significant financial contribution to support the efforts of local organizations like Chippewa Youth Hockey Association,” said Greg Gordon vice president of Consumer Marketing at Liberty Mutual.

The Responsible Sports program, including the Community Grants, comes at a crucial time for communities like ours. Like other communities across the U.S., our own youth sports programs are under pressure from increasing numbers of participants, limited volunteer activity and mounting program management and administration costs. The Responsible Sports program provides access to valuable resources and assets that can ensure our organizations thrive even under challenging circumstances.

The Chippewa Youth Hockey Association is registered for the Responsible Sports program. They are encouraging individual community members to complete one of the self-paced online courses (Responsible Coaching and Responsible Sport Parenting) and take a 10-question review quiz. Every completed quiz is worth one point. The organizations that earn the most points in the three divisions (large and small youth sports organizations and school athletic programs) will be awarded a $2,500 Responsible Sports Community Grant. The more people each registered organization gets to complete the courses, the greater its chances of winning.

Complete details on the grants as well as the qualifying self-paced courses are available through the official program website at ResponsibleSports.com.

The Chippewa Youth Hockey Association has over 300 participants each year.  Our mission is to provide the youth of Chippewa County with quality programs for ice skating related activities. We support teamwork and cooperation through mutual respect, sharing of skills, knowledge and responsibilities.  Please see our website at www.chippewahockey.org.  Please help us by taking both quizzes for each e-mail address you have and hurry, the grant period ends May 31, 2010.
