Village for Vets Selected as Champion Organization for the Super Bowl LVI Legacy Program
In partnership with the LA84 Foundation, the Play Equity Fund and the National Football League (NFL) Foundation, the Super Bowl LVI Legacy Program –Champions Live Here – shines a spotlight on the achievements of local community organizations who often go unrecognized and provides grants to help these nonprofits continue fulfilling their missions.
The Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee has recognized 56 “unsung hero” grassroots organizations and nonprofits who are making a transformative impact in underserved communities across the Los Angeles region. All 56 groups were invited to make the announcement and help to open the SoFi stadium on June 10th.
The legacy program honored Village for Vets as a “Champion organization” with a $10,000 grant award, a professionally produced marketing video spotlighting their organization, and public recognition of their work in the lead up to the Super Bowl.
“We are thrilled and honored to be chosen as one of the organizations highlighted by the Super Bowl LVI Legacy Program. The grant and visibility this opportunity will provide a small but mighty non-profit like ours will make a huge impact in the work we do for Los Angeles’ most vulnerable veterans. We are truly making LA better together!” —Marcie Polier Swartz, Founder
