LA84 Newsletter, Volume 5

In 1984, the Los Angeles Summer Games inspired millions of Angelenos, including myself, and left an indelible legacy. That was the LA84 Foundation. Powered by the Olympic Movement, LA84 has impacted millions of youth over the past 32 years. We've created lives ready through sport. But we need your support. Pass the torch to the next generation with a donation to LA84.
