OUR WORK
2013 Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars
This season, our Flyin' Hawaiian All-Stars program provided a special opportunity for close to 150 children in Boston!
Groups from the Jr. RBI League, Boston Children's Hospital, Boy Scouts' ScoutReach, Best Buddies MA, Boys & Girls Club of Boston and the Maui Upcountry Baseball Club have joined us for a game, received concessions and program T-shirts, but the best part of their day was meeting Shane during batting practice. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many of the youth and definitely a day they will always remember!
SVF Tuition Assistance Fund
In June, the first recipients of the Shane Victorino Foundation Scholarship at St. Anthony School (Shane's alma mater) were awarded. SVF established the fund to provide tuition assistance to student-athletes at the school who display sportsmanship, dedication and commitment to achieving academic as well as athletic excellence, maintaining a GPA of 3.0.
Micah Leval and Grayson Nolette were each presented with a $1,500 scholarship - pictured above with Joycelyn Victorino, Shane's mother and an alumnus of St. Anthony. |
