The Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation (AFYF) recently made a $250,000 investment in Project Adventure's work with youth at risk through Project Adventure Kids and Newton County Recreation Dept. as part of AFYF's 2007 year-end grants.
With a focus on youth fitness, AFYF works with non-profit organizations throughout Georgia to help curb childhood obesity.
The money will be used to renovate Cousins Gym. R.L. Cousins High School was once Newton County’s only high school for African American students, and now exists as a community center for youth in the county. Having fallen into disrepair, the Cousins Gym will be renovated through a partnership with AFYF, Project Adventure, Newton County Recreation Department and with other charitable contributions, providing opportunities for youth in the Project Adventure program and throughout the county to participate in physical fitness activities.
