The City of Santa Clarita’s Newhall Community Center recently received a generous donation of over $4,000 worth of top of the line brand name soccer shoes on behalf of “Planet Soccer,” a retail establishment in downtown Newhall. The owner of “Planet Soccer,” Carlos Marroquin, made the donation to benefit the underprivileged youth who participate in the Newhall Community Center’s soccer program. The Center’s soccer program serves over 50 high-risk youth ages 13-16.
“Planet Soccer is providing the Community Center’s low-income youth with this prestigious opportunity that would be otherwise unaffordable for them and is also contributing to and creating a positive alternative for the high-risk youth in the community,” commented Efren Galindo, Community Center Sports Coordinator.
The Community Center provides youth and adults in Santa Clarita with a variety of recreational and educational opportunities in a safe and fun environment.
The Community Center is located at 22421 Market Street in Newhall. For more information about the recreational opportunities available at the Newhall Community Center, please call (661) 286-4006.
