The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame will continue in its tradition of supporting youth sports by offering grants to youth sports organizations through its BASHOF Youth Fund.

The grants are available for youth sports groups to purchase sports equipment. Applications for the grants must be completed and returned by Dec. 31.

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame has provided over $1,325,000 to youth sports organizations in the nine counties of the Bay Area. Last summer, the fund provided grants to 48 different groups.
