After 25 years of volunteering, Coach Nissim Leon gets honored by the City Of Los Angeles.  At the age of 19, Nissim set out to bring organized football and cheer to Boyle Heights.  With the financial assistance of El Tepeyac's owner, Manuel, Nissim began an all volunteer organization that has thrived for over 25 years.  On July 26, Councilman Huizar and the City of Los Angeles recognized Nissim for an exemplary effort to create a positive culture for the youth of Boyle Heights.  Today, the Boyle Heights Wolfpack consistently serves over 250 boys and girls from Boyle Heights.
