H.E.L.P.E.R.S. Intervention Programs & Fundraisers
The 2006 COMMUNITY INTERVENTION FORUM was held in July and was a Forum to familiarize the community of the functions, programs, and finances of Venice 2000. We also introduced the staff and some of the youth who participate in our programs. The Forum was attended by the community, City Council staff, seniors, V2K Board members, collaboratives with Venice 2000, supporters from outside of Venice including Playa Vista Staff who hosted this event, and our wonderful youth.
The 1st BACKHAND FOR PEACE HANDBALL TOURNAMENT was held in June 2008. This tournament was held to recognize the sport that is enjoyed by our Brown brothers. During the existence of Venice 2000 we have had basketball tournaments each year that different agencies from neighborhoods from around West and Central Los Angeles competed. The last one, it's sixth, was held in February, was won by the Venice 2000 team. This year one of our staff George Avalos began the tournament handball competition. The tournament was held at Venice Beach and families from communities around Los Angeles came to enjoy the competition. The day was enjoyed by all. We look forward to each tournament. By the way, the Venice 2000 team won this one too!
