American children love cricket, as expressed by students in one Omaha school.

New Inning Foundation has announced a $500 donation to USYCA for the purchase of additional American Cricket Champ sets. This marks the third major gift from New Inning to USYCA in the past year, and demonstrates the foundations' determination to support promising youth cricket initiatives.

Ram Varadarajan of New Inning Foundation said, "I have always believed that for Americans to enjoy cricket they must first have an opportunity to play cricket in a fun setting so that they can experience the joy of hitting the ball, scoring runs, fielding and taking a wicket! Thanks to USYCA's cricket clinics and demos at schools across the country, more and more kids are getting a chance to enjoy cricket. At New Inning, we are happy to contribute to this wonderful initiative."

Above and beyond the direct donation, New Inning will match, dollar for dollar up to $500, all direct donations given to USYCA from Saturday May 7 through Friday, May 13.

"USYCA is honored to have the continuing friendship of New Inning Foundation," President Jamie Harrison said. "Ram and his organization have been in our corner, and in youth cricket's corner, from the very outset, and have been willing to give significant funding to make our vision possible.

"With the New Inning matching campaign, a challenge has been set before us, and I'm confident that USYCA's supporters will rise to the occasion, as they always do."
