Hrm... Maybe check with the local sports stores and see if they'd be willing
to contribute? Soccer world, Play It Again Sports, etc. Beyond that, hrm,
let's see. Does your friend's son belong to any organizations that he might
be able to ask to help sponsor him?  Heck, maybe consider making a case to
the Los Altos School District, the City Of Los Altos, or the City of Los
Altos Chamber of Commerce for a "scholarship". Hell, maybe an elected
official or two would be willing to help. I mean, it /is/ an election year.
If he's really an All-American Kid (I don't doubt you, don't worry!), they
(any of the groups I mentioned) may be willing to pony up some money. If his
family is of "minority descent or nationality", perhaps one of those ethnic
community groups may be able to help.

I hope this works out for him. He sounds like a great kid, and this sounds
like a fantastic opportunity for him. Good luck, Karen!
