President Obama Provides Opportunities for Wrestling to Secure Federal Grants
One of the goals of the Beat the Streets USA Wrestling is to begin the process of securing Federal, State & City Grants for the Beat the Streets USA Wrestling Program.
We are in negotiations with a premier Government Relations and Public Affairs Consulting group that provides lobbying, regulatory representation, grassroots campaign strategies, business development and political training.
Our business model matches up quite well with several areas that many of the large urban centers in America are under financial & political pressure in battling juvenile crime, obesity, school retention and low academic performances in their public schools system.
A professional grant writer can implement a smart strategy to help the Beat the Streets National Program expand into more cities, with more kids and more wrestlers.

President Obama Announces New White House Office of Olympic, Paralympic and Youth Sport
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama recently announced the formation of the White House Office of Olympic, Paralympic and Youth Sport.
This permanent White House office will promote the values of the Olympic Movement and encourage increased youth participation in athletics. The primary function of the Office will be to enhance awareness of the Olympic Movement through promotion of its fundamental principles at the federal level.
President Obama said, “It is an important goal of my administration to give our nation’s children every possible tool they need to grow, learn and succeed in life. A key part of this is increasing access to healthy, constructive activities like sports for our nation’s children. Too many American kids – particularly those in urban areas – have no access to organized sporting activities. Sports are an important way to instill values, judgment and teamwork in our nation’s kids, and this new office reflects our commitment to giving all our children a chance to thrive. As the International Olympic Committee moves forward with their selection process we hope that this new office can serve as a model for youth involvement worldwide.”
The White House Office of Olympic, Paralympic and Youth Sport will:
- Recommend federal policies and programs to the President to enhance opportunities and access for youth participation in sport, with particular focus on youth in urban areas
- Foster and encourage youth sporting, educational and cultural events involving Olympic values-based programs and the participation of U.S. Olympians and Paralympians
The Office will also work in coordination with appropriate executive departments and agencies, including the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, to:
- Engage in outreach to state and local government officials, nonprofit organizations and the private sector
- Coordinate federal resources, and act as liaison to, any organizing committee for an Olympic and Paralympic Games hosted in the United States
- And work closely with the United States Olympic Committee and national sport governing bodies to increase access and opportunities for youth to participate in sports.
