American Vision Windows and Solar™ Gives Back to Local Youth Football Program

SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading window and solar panel installation company American Vision Windows and Solar™ of Simi Valley, CA is honored to offer its support to Grace Brethren Youth Sports Football, a local community sports program that shares the company's values and mission to build character and faith in youth today.  

The company's involvement stems straight from the Owner, and former football player for Ohio State, Bill Herren. "We are passionate about our involvement with a youth football program that values bringing children closer to knowing Jesus Christ," says Herren.  "Grace Brethren Youth Football strives to teach kids more than just how to throw a good pass or make a great tackle – they'll hopefully leave the program with a deeper faith in God, and faith in themselves to go out into the world and make a difference," Herren added.

Herren is very hands-on with the organization, contributing his football expertise on the field and his leadership on the Board of Directors.  Herren's success story is incredibly inspirational, which makes him the ideal role model for these kids.  "I faced times of adversity in my youth where I had to tackle more than just my opponents on the football field," Herren shares.  "Thankfully, the guidance and support from mentors like my Ohio State football coach, coupled with my faith in Jesus Christ, helped me get through these difficult times and turn my life around. This experience has opened up my heart to give back and support a program like GBYS where I can demonstrate what it means to be a Godly leader, as well as help guide and direct these young kids on the right path," he added.  

A ministry of Grace Brethren Church, GBYS Football works to "create a fun environment for boys to learn to strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ through the unity of teamwork and the adversity of the physical sport of football." The program is open to all kids in the community who want to participate with available playing levels for ages 6-14.
