Page Youth Center (PYC) and Ferris Orthodontic Group have a new multi-year agreement designed to benefit thousands of local youth athletes across Santa Barbara County.
As part of the agreement, Ferris Orthodontic Group will become the official title sponsor of Page Youth Center’s flagship Basketball and Volleyball programs.
The Winter Basketball League (formerly the Blenders League) will be named the Ferris Winter Basketball League, reflecting Ferris Group’s commitment to youth development, community engagement, and physical wellness.
The partnership builds upon a history between the two organizations. A few years ago, Page Youth Center undertook a major court resurfacing project to enhance the quality and safety of its gym facilities. Ferris Orthodontic Group played a pivotal role in making that project a reality through a financial contribution.
In recognition of their support, the newly refinished courts feature the Ferris Orthodontic Group logo at center court.
“The Page Youth Center is a first-class organization and does a remarkable job offering youth sports to our community,” said Dr. Drew Ferris, owner of Ferris Orthodontic Group.
“Supporting PYC is about more than sports, it’s about giving kids a place to belong, build confidence, and develop lifelong values,” he said.
“We’re thankful to Blenders for years of support that have helped shape the league into what it is today,” said Isaiah Veal, director of pperations at Page Youth Center. “As we look to the future, we’re thrilled to welcome Ferris Orthodontic Group as our new title sponsor.
“This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for PYC and the thousands of kids we serve each year.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Ferris Orthodontic Group for their continued investment in the youth of our community.” said Tony Becerra, Page Youth Center Board president.
Both Ferris Orthodontic Group and Page Youth Center said they share a vision of building strong, confident, and healthy futures for children across Santa Barbara.
Ferris Orthodontic Group provides orthodontic care for children and adults, with locations in Santa Barbara and Goleta.
Page Youth Center is a nonprofit that fosters youth development through recreational athletic programs.
