Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), the LAFC Foundation, and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. celebrated the unveiling of a new futsal court at Bud Carson Middle School in Hawthorne, California. This court marks Chevron’s third refurbishment in partnership with LAFC and the LAFC Foundation in Hawthorne, and the seventh court completed overall in their collaboration.
The new outdoor court enhances physical fitness and free play programming during school hours and offers expanded after-school organized play opportunities for students. Chevron and the LAFC Foundation also donated $10,000 and updated soccer equipment to support the school’s new playing surface.
LAFC Co-President and Chief Business Officer Larry Freedman said, “We are proud to continue to be a force for good in the Southland alongside our great partners at Chevron. The futsal courts we have built together offer greater opportunities for students and the community to come together in a safe space to learn, grow, and create meaningful connections through the world’s game.”
Jenny Macintosh, Soccer Program Manager at Chevron, stated, “This partnership helps provide local youth with greater access to soccer through various programs throughout the year, fostering their development both on and off the field. We’re proud to support the Los Angeles community by offering local youth a safe, updated place to play.”
