The Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club has sought public feedback on the projects that will be conducted in two phases. The first lot of projects would include repairing a baseball field, including infield dirt replacement, sprinkler repairs, scoreboard repair and re-seeding or fertilizing outfield grass.

The next phase would feature investing in a handicap lift for the swimming pool and adjusting placement of locker room benches to allow 360-degree turnaround for wheelchairs. The Japanese will also put her money into upgrading nets on basketball hoops and goals, as well as funding the making of new uniforms.
