Published

on

LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ — California Credit Union encourages Los Angeles County teachers who have an innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant through its Teacher Grant program.

The California Credit Union grant program is available to full-time teachers in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties, or credit union members teaching in California, looking to fund special learning opportunities for their students. The project should have clearly defined learning objectives tied to students’ academic needs, display creativity, and benefit a significant number of students. Ten California Credit Union grants of $500 each will be awarded to area teachers in early October in the fall program.

“We were founded 90 years ago by a Los Angeles teacher, and supporting our education community has always been an important part of our heritage. We’re excited to once again offer this grant program to help teachers light up their classrooms with an innovative learning opportunity for their students,” said California Credit Union President/CEO Steve O’Connell. “We encourage any teacher who has an exciting project idea to take just a few minutes to apply for one of our grants.”

Interested teachers can find more information and apply online here. The application deadline is September 15, 2023.

Since the creation of the program in 2012, California Credit Union has awarded $175,000 in teacher grants to benefit students across Southern California. The spring grant program funded a wide range of projects, including writing books about kindness, creating an art journaling project, opening a student Wellness Center, and starting a pickleball program, among others.

On May 4, 2024, a historic event took place at Life Time PENN 1 in New York City. Tennis Grand Slam Champion Andre Agassi, along with top-rated pickleball pros Ben Johns, Collin Johns, Tyson McGuffin, and Anna Bright, gathered for an exhilarating pickleball showdown. As the world’s fastest-growing sport, pickleball continues to captivate audiences, and this event was no exception.


Over 300 guests had the privilege of watching this exciting display of athleticism and camaraderie. Some lucky individuals even had the opportunity to play alongside these esteemed professionals. The atmosphere was electric as the crowd cheered on their favorite players, basking in the thrill of the competition.

Bahram Akradi, Life Time Founder, Chairman, and CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the event, stating, “This easily goes down as one of the most exciting days for Life Time in New York City since our Life Time Sky opening in 2016.” Akradi, an avid tennis and pickleball player himself, recognized the significance of having these world-class athletes together. The event marked the opening of PENN 1 as the city’s iconic pickleball destination, cementing Life Time’s commitment to expanding access, enhancing programming, and building a community around racquet sports.

The company has also hosted multiple MLP and PPA tournaments, including their own Pickleball Classic. The May 4 event showcased the support from key Life Time partners, including JOOLA, DUPR, and lululemon, who have all contributed to the growth of racquet sports.

Life Time PENN 1, which opened on April 15, has already become a hotspot for pickleball enthusiasts. With seven street-level pickleball courts, it offers a vibrant community for play, leagues, clinics, and tournaments for players of all skill levels. Life Time operates nine destinations in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and Life Time Sky has two indoor pickleball courts.

This event was a testament to the expansive reach of pickleball and its ability to bring people together. It showcased the passion and dedication of both professional athletes and enthusiasts alike.
