Sponsorship Opportunities 7th Annual Game Changer Awards: Hosted virtually on Tuesday, February 16, 2021 1 About the Game Changer Awards Media Sponsor: Every year, Coaching Corps Game Changer Awards celebrates the transformative power of coaching by honoring those who have empowered and inspired athletes at every level to be their best selves. Presenters and honorees are prominent representatives from Bay Area professional sports teams, including the Oakland Athletics, San Jose Earthquakes, San Francisco 49ers, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders, San Jose Sharks, and Golden State Warriors. These professional athletes will be honoring a coach who made a difference in their lives. However, the true hero of the evening will be one of our Coaching Corps coaches who will be honored with a Coach of the Year Award. This one-of-a-kind event raises funds to ensure that all youth — regardless of circumstance — have the chance to develop character through sports with a caring and trained Coaching Corps coach. Since its inception, the Game Changer Awards has raised over $4 million dollars toward Coaching Corps’ mission.

    Children Bond with SJSU Parents Employees Fired

    SERVING SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1934 SPARTANSPARTAN DAILYDAILY WWW.THESPARTANDAILY.COM VOLUME 122, NUMBER 53 FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2004 Children bond with SJSU parents Employees fi red for taking photos of soldiers’ caskets Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Pentagon lost its tight control over the images of coffi ns returning from Iraq as about 350 such images were released under the Freedom of Information Act and a Seattle newspaper published a similar photo taken by a military contractor. After Dover Air Force Base, the main port for returning remains, released hundreds of government photos of the ceremonies, the Defense Department ordered Thursday that no more photographs be released. In addition, two employees for defense contractor Maytag Aircraft were fi red after the Pentagon complained about a photo of fl ag-draped caskets taken by one of them appeared in the Seattle Times. In March 2003, on the eve of war in Iraq, the Pentagon ordered an end to all media coverage of ceremonies for the returning remains of soldiers killed overseas. Although Dover already had such a policy, the Pentagon action enforced a military-wide ban on images of fl ag-draped caskets that dated from late 2000 but had not been followed. With few exceptions, the ban had remained in force until recent days. But last week, about 350 photos from Dover were released under a Freedom of Information Act request by Russ Kick, a First Amendment advocate who runs a Web site called the Memory Hole (www.thememoryhole.org). Dover had recommended that Kick’s request be denied, but offi cials at Air Mobility Command headquarters at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois authorized the release on appeal.

Rebuilding Parchester Park – “All in a Day’s Work” On Saturday, October 25th Livie & Luca (generous funders), The Trust for Public Land (funders), Boys and Girls Club of El Sobrante, Richmond Trees, the City of Richmond, the Parchester community and hundreds of volunteers came together to work toward a common goal: Building community with community through beatification of an open space. In one (1) day, these groups came together to build a brand new park in Parchester! The planning committee engaged Parchester residents and children in designing their open space at “Design Day” in July 2014. During Design Day, children and residents shared their dreams for their open space. The planning committee reviewed the wishes and placed the dreams into a reality on Build Day, Saturday October 25th. Preparation of the site was completed three days prior to Build Day and RichmondBUILD was diligent in prepping the site to ensure it was ready for volunteers. The beautification of the Parchester Park Project includes a new play structure, rehabilitated baseball diamond, landscaping that included the planting of 37 trees, children’s musical garden, picnic benches, a BBQ grill, and an arbor covering the picnic benches. This year “Make A Difference Day” was combined with Arbor Day which was hosted by Richmond Trees.
