Law Firm Launches Future MVP Fund to Support New York Student Athletes

The Law Offices of Jeffrey Lichtman has launched the Future MVP Fund, a new initiative designed to provide financial support for student athletes across New York by covering costs associated with sports gear and equipment. Attorney Jeffrey Lichtman, who created the fund, emphasized that the program aims to cultivate the next generation of community leaders and teammates through athletic participation. This effort addresses the significant financial challenges many young athletes and their families face when pursuing sports, which can often be hindered by the high expense of necessary equipment.

Grants of $250 will be distributed to selected student athletes who demonstrate exceptional dedication and passion for their sport. The fund focuses on reducing the economic strain on participants, allowing them to chase their athletic goals without the obstacle of equipment costs. By offering this assistance, the initiative seeks to empower youth, recognizing that sports play a crucial role in developing teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills. The selection criteria will evaluate an athlete's commitment to their sport, personal growth through athletics, and how the grant might impact their athletic journey.

Nominations for the Future MVP Fund are now open, with a submission deadline of August 31, 2025. Interested individuals can submit nominations through the Future MVP Fund nomination page. This program reflects a wider commitment to investing in New York's youth and future, acknowledging the positive influence of sports on young people's development. The initiative underscores the importance of accessible athletic opportunities in fostering well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to their communities.
