Other grants included $125,000 to the Southern California Tennis Assn.’s National Junior Tennis League; $88,629 to velodromes in Encino, San Diego and Carson; $72,000 to the Mt. San Antonio College Youth Days Program in Walnut; $45,874 to the Hollywood-Wilshire YMCA, $43,056 to the Boys and Girls Club of Cathedral City and $40,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of the Coachella Valley.
The original Olympic surplus amounted to $222.7 million, but the 40% Southern California youth share has been drawing interest and has grown above the 1984 totals.
