(Boston Orange 編譯) 波士頓體育協會（B.A.A.）今天(9月5日)宣佈，秋季給非牟利機構的補助項目，即日起開放申請，9月26日截止。

這是雙年計劃的第二輪，支持那些經由運動，特別是跑步等，推廣健康生活型態，以建立健康社區，進一步實踐BAA使命的非牟利機構。

            春季時，整個麻州有14個機構的各種健身項目獲得補助，包括阿喀琉斯 (Achilles)國際、巴頓 (Barton) 糖尿病教育中心、261 新英格蘭無畏 (Fearless) 俱樂部、大步邁進(Stride for Stride)和青少年充實服務(Youth Enrichment Services Inc)。

波士頓體育會的發展主任Nicole Juri說，B.A.A的回饋補助是地方組織獲得額外資金幫助他們實現目標的好資源。他們從首批獲贈者那裡得到很多正面反饋，他們表示這些補助款幫助他們歡迎新成員參加他們的夏季活動；購買新設備；培訓了新教練等等。

波士頓體育會希望麻州有更多人知道這補助款項目，以期有更多人申請。
