Valley Youth Hockey Directors,
 
Two years ago, we launched the MaxInMotion Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation created to honor Max Shacknai, a young talented athlete who tragically lost his life in July 2011, by providing young athletes an opportunity to compete at both the recreational and competitive levels in major youth sports.
 
We are proud to announce that as a result of the generosity of our amazing donors, we were able to more than double the number of youth who received support during our second year. In fact, nearly 5,000 scholarships were provided to economically challenged youth during the 2013-2014 season! 
 
The recipients of MaxInMotion sports scholarships hail from all over Arizona and participate in competitive soccer, basketball, hockey, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair power soccer. Since inception, the MaxInMotion Foundation has provided nearly $100,000 in financial support to hockey players throughout the state.
 
This purpose of this e-mail today is to notify you that the application period for the 2014-2015 Financial Aid Hockey Scholarship will open tomorrow and ask that you communicate this information with your players and families.
