STEVE YOUNG'S FOUNDATION CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF COMPUTER
CENTER AT NFL YOUTH EDUCATION TOWN CENTER IN LOS ANGELES

August 6, 2004—Marking the opening of the Forever Young Zone at the NFL Youth Education Town (YET) in Los Angeles, The National Football League and Steve Young, joined by Boys and Girls Club, Sun Microsystems, celebrities and local and state representatives will host a grand opening event on August 6, 2004, 12:30pm.

In an effort to positively impact youth in underserved communities, the National Football League established the NFL Youth Education Towns. In 1993 they kicked off their first center in Los Angeles. The NFL continues to be committed to the youth in the surrounding L.A. communities, delivering recreational programs, educational opportunities and social services to these young people and their families.

"The NFL has a long history of supporting the needs of youth and communities in Super Bowl cities," said NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue. "Before Super Bowl XXVII in Pasadena we committed to providing a facility where the community could enhance their educational and recreational skills. We commend Steve Young's Foundation for assisting us in continuing this legacy through our YET Centers."

The 15,000 sq. ft. center, located at 1220 256th Street, Harbor City will house the Forever Young Zone serving thousands of community youth and families. With the donation of the "Zone" powered by Sun Microsystems, those served in the community will be provided with youth technological training as well as ongoing adult educational opportunities. Participants utilizing the center have the opportunity to take advantage of this state-of-the-art facility learning and enhancing skills through the use of the newly donated advance computer systems.

The NFL recently collaborated with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to strengthen and expand the YET initiative and improve the quality of services offered. Through this partnership and partnerships with organizations such as the Steve Young's Foundation and Sun Microsystems, the NFL Youth Education Town program continues to provide children resources to achieve a brighter future.

There are 13 YET Centers dedicated in ten cities-Los Angeles, two in San Diego, Phoenix, New Orleans, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta, two in Tampa, two in Houston and Jacksonville this coming Super Bowl. YET Centers are designed to meet community needs, providing educational assistance, job training, technical training, life-skills development, and recreational outlets. The facilities vary, but include libraries, classrooms, technology labs, physical fitness centers, and recreational fields. In several locations, YET Centers offer full-day school programs as well as after-school services.

With the help of the NFL's $1 million contribution, local public and private support, the Centers remain viable forces in their communities long after a Super Bowl has been played. The NFL values their ongoing partnership established within the Los Angeles community.
