GoingBeyondSports is a GBS Titan Booster Club initiative that encourages every athletic team to undertake a meaningful service project during its season.
Last year, our Titans shared their talents off the field with dozens of organizations including Glenview Youth Services, Pathways, The American Cancer Society, the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation and the Northfield Food Pantry. Our athletes helped with a 5K run, stocked shelves with canned goods, raised funds and even sent athletic apparel to Africa. Many projects involved only a few hours on a Saturday, but the benefits to both those in need and to our own athletes were far reaching.
Each season, our teams will choose one or more athlete(s) and one parent representative to identify an organization that could benefit from the team’s volunteer efforts. Teams are free to choose any organization and corresponding activity that suits their team best.
GoingBeyondSports reminds our athletes that life is a team sport and using their talents to help others is the sweetest victory of all. GoingBeyondSports is what makes our athletes all they can be – it’s what makes them TITANS!
If you would like to help GoingBeyondSports as a parent representative or if you would like to suggest an organization that you believe would benefit from our athletes’ efforts, please contact Rick Pullano at 847-724-6803 (home) or 312-961-2095 (cell).
