    Dear Chai=an Mollohan and Ranking Member Wolf:

    I am requesting funding for the Youth Soccer Gang Prevention Initiative in fiscal year
    2010. The entity to receive funding under the Department of Justice, Juvenile Justice and
    Delinquency Prevention is the Starfinder Foundation, located at the Urban Promise
    Center, 4015 Main Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19127. The funding would be
    used to demonstrate the effectiveness of using soccer as a tool for keeping at-risk children
    and teenagers from joining gangs.. The sport of soccer is now recognized as a powerful
    magnet to successfully attract at-risk youth to innovative educational programs that
    provide positive alternatives to the negative peer pressures that so often lead to gang
    involvement and juvenile delinquency. Investing in youth who are at high risk for gang
    participation and empowering them with soccer-based leadership responsibilities and
    workforce development opportunities will provide a significant contribution to an
    environment of sustainable social change. . '

    I certify that neither I nor my spouse has any fmancial interest in this project.

    Cn aFattah
    Member of Congress
