Weisbrod Foundation Funds Inclusivity Initiative

The Robert and Mary Weisbrod Foundation recently awarded Venture Outdoors a $10,000 grant for the multi-year Inclusivity Initiative. The Inclusivity Initiative seeks to remove cultural and economic barriers faced by families in developing healthier lifestyles, environmental awareness, and enhanced civic engagement. In 2006, the Weisbrod Foundation purchased a fleet of bicycles, which has helped VO to double the number of youth served to more than 2,000 children and adolescents per year. Weisbrod joins L.L.Bean in support of the Inclusivity Initiative, whose fundraising goal is $200,000 to provide a successive series of outreach, events and programs in partnership with other organizations who seek to improve the health and education of urban communities.
