In December 2008, a group of alumni met at the Valley Inn Restaurant to form the Athletic Endowment Advisory Board.  Assembled by Athletic Hall of Fame Chairman Paul Sabolic, the board agreed to work together to raise $100,000 in the next five years for the newly created Athletic Endowment.

The creation of the Athletic Endowment was announced at the last Athletic Hall of Fame induction dinner in June. Part of the proceeds from the induction dinner as well as seed gifts have ignited support.  The endowment will support athletic program items including equipment, supplies, and travel, which is very much needed at Valley College.

Members of the committee include Chair Phil Mundy - President Emeritus of Mundy Medical, Randy Rosenbloom - radio and television broadcaster, Bret Nordyke - Associate with Jones Lang LaSalle, and Al Weis -  entrepreneur.  Without any formal planning, over $20,000 in pledges have already been received.

“I feel a lot of energy coming from this group, and I look forward to working with them in this endeavor,” said Paul Sabolic. The committee would like to add a few more members who share in their passion and can assist in raising the $100,000 goal.  If you would like to become involved, please call Raul Castillo at the LAVC Foundation at (818) 947-2618.
