East Palo Alto – A collaboration of community, government, business and sports organizations helped create the new Sports for All Hub at Los Robles Ronald McNair Academy in East Palo Alto. The grand opening of the full-size football field was celebrated with speakers, a ribbon cutting and a flag football clinic. The Bay Area Host Committee invited the community to the “Sports for All Ribbon Cutting” event to officially open the first-ever regulation football field in East Palo Alto. Following the opening, Kidango and City Year organized volunteers to paint murals and do service projects surrounding the Kidango early learning center at the same location as the field. The center is slated to open this year, according to a press release from Kidango.
