3, 3, 2022 — Bristol, CT native and Gatorade Connecticut Football Player of the Year, Victor Rosa, awarded Supreme Athlete Mentoring Program with a $10,000 grant to help support our programs. 

Sports have seen a double-digit decline over the past decade, largely due to tighter budgets in communities, but young people that participate in sports are found to be happier, healthier and better students. Gatorade Play It Forward empowers Gatorade Player of the Year recipients across the country to award local or national sports organizations with grants, so they can continue helping young athletes enjoy the benefit of sports. 

After Victor Rosa won the Gatorade Connecticut Football Player of the Year award, he then submitted a short video to be considered for one of the 12 Spotlight Grants of $10,000.

“As with all Gatorade Player of the Year award winners, Victor Rosa has demonstrated exemplary character,” said Kara Darling, Assistant Marketing Manager for Gatorade Player of the Year. “His short video illustrated the role that Supreme Athlete Mentoring Program has had in fostering that character. Our vision is that organizations like Supreme Athlete Mentoring Program continue to positively impact the kids of the future.”

“We are extremely fortunate to be working with young people of all backgrounds. Victor is such a wonderful young man. His parents have done a tremendous job raising him and allowing us to mentor him. Everyone involved are overwhelmed with emotions that he would recommend our agency for such an amazing award. This award will allow us to continue helping student-athletes reach their athletic dreams by providing the necessary resources. Again, we are blessed and grateful for Victor, his HS, and family”. – Stack Williams, FOUNDER & CEO

All 608 Gatorade State Player of the Year recipients are awarded a grant to donate to the organization of their choosing. Gatorade State Players of the Year may also submit a short video explaining why the organization they chose is deserving of one of a Spotlight Grant.
