GameChanger’s Post

Coach Brett Vavra and his dedicated staff have poured their hearts into this program, and the impact is nothing short of remarkable. As someone who grew up within this programs embrace, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power it holds for young men. Football isn't just a game; it's a classroom where nearly 100 young men learn the most important lessons life has to offer. An entire ecosystem of growth and opportunity. Teaching loyalty, teamwork, resilience, goal-setting, and accountability—qualities that are sadly scarce in today's world. For many, football is their lifeline. Without the guidance and support of their teammates and coaches, far too many would find themselves lost in the world of darkness that exists off the field and outside the classroom. Your contribution isn't just an investment in a football program; it's an investment in the future of these boys. It helps fuel a vehicle that shapes them into the compassionate, resilient leaders our world desperately needs. Every little bit helps. If you aren’t in the position to donate, I encourage you to share this post. #GOJACKETS

Another weekend of WSL action wrapped, and another new milestone at Fantasy WSL HQ with the app hitting 5,000 requests per minute at its peak! 🔥 (We most likely have goals from Lauren James and Vivianne Miedema to thank for that 👏) But it wasn’t just the players making waves last week. Nikki Doucet, CEO of NewCo, the company taking over the WSL and Women’s Championship, spoke publicly about her ambitions for the league and what she’s prioritising for the growth of women’s football. It’s refreshing to hear her talk about women’s football as “a different and distinct product with a unique audience” - something with incredible growth potential and commercial viability. It’s time to use the momentum in the women’s game to create a model that will allow it to flourish. As Nikki says, “if you look at women’s sport over the last 50, 100 years, it has just been underfunded. It has been treated like a charity and expected charity returns.” We’ve built Fantasy WSL from the same philosophy. We’re in the business of women’s football: creating a game to delight the fans, build a community, and generate commercial value. If you’ve ever watched a women’s football match, you’ll know it deserves no less 👊 #WSL #WomensFootball #WomenInSport #FantasyFootball

In addition to running my own PR consulting firm, I have also been the GM of a non-profit travel baseball program - created in NYC six years ago to provide opportunities for all kids - regardless of economic status. Every year, the East River Sharks baseball program provides scholarships to kids from various parts of NYC who can't afford the cost of joining a travel baseball team. Many of our coaches are volunteers, and we rely on donations to keep the organization running and the kids on the field! Currently 70% of our players are on scholarship! This week, for 4 days only, we are raising money for our non-profit baseball program the East River Sharks! It is weird to post this on LI, but it is part of my world of work, and part of giving back. If you are corporation, we would love your sponsorship if you are looking for a worthy cause. Or if you just want some popcorn and want to send a quick donation (by the way the popcorn is awesome), then click the link below! We are using the funds to create two new younger teams as many of our players are now in high school and college. Need more convincing about how you can help... consider this... 2 of our players have gone to the show (SF Giants and AZ Diamondbacks) 30 of our players over the last 6 years are now playing in college. And, there are more players out there to help! #nonprofits #nonprofit #baseball #youthempowerment #youthsports https://lnkd.in/eBb6gphK

Today is #GivingTuesday, the annual global day of giving! You have the power to change the game – literally and figuratively. Softball is more than a game; it's a platform for empowerment, leadership, and growth. But the playing field isn't always level. Today, we're striving to change that narrative. Your donation will help expand our softball program, giving more girls the chance to stand tall on the diamond, learning life skills that go far beyond sports. Every child who desires to play should have a chance to play, learn, and explore baseball and softball. Yet, for many youths of color, opportunities to engage in these sports are limited by socioeconomic barriers. We're committed to breaking down these barriers. With your help, we can make baseball and softball more accessible and inclusive. Be a Game Changer! Your donation today isn't just a gift; it's an investment in futures, in dreams, and in the equitable world we all strive for. Let's give kids the ability to PLAY! Give now at baseballbeyond.org. #youthsoftball #youthbaseball #equityinsports #seattlenonprofit #youthsports #supportyoungathletes #diversityinsports

Tasmanian greyhound racing clubs are deeply integrated into the local community, actively supporting a wide array of grassroots organisations and initiatives. In Hobart, the Greyhound Racing Club has embraced local sporting clubs by hosting sporting clubs challenge nights that benefit a variety of clubs across sports ranging from AFL to netball, offering both direct sponsorships and opportunities to win additional funding. Similarly, the Launceston Club enriches the community with race days tailored for aged care residents, creating memorable social experiences. Moreover, a collective initiative across Tasmanian clubs culminated in a generous $35,220 donation to the Ronald McDonald House Charity, significantly enhancing the support facilities for families of children undergoing medical treatments in Hobart.
