How can you help Beyond the Ball?

There are many ways to support our mission:

Dollars

Gym space is costly. So are the materials we purchase for our programs. We would be grateful for your support. Checks can be made out to "Beyond the Ball" and sent to:

Beyond the Ball
3057 S. Drake Ave.
Chicago, IL 60623

Items

You probably have something to give that appeals to youth between the ages of 5 and 24. Tickets to events, like Bulls games; a summer home that we could use for a leadership retreat; or sports equipment and apparel. Send us an e-mail at btb@beyondtheball.org to let us know.

Networking

Who do you know that enjoys sports, working with youth, or has a passion to see everyone get an opportunity to succeed in life? Let them know about Beyond the Ball. We can probably use their help!

Storage Space

Our programs involve quite a bit of equipment, which needs to be stored when not in use. If you have storage space we can use, let us know!

Time

While we stress neighborhood involvement, we occasionally have events that need additional help! If you are interested in serving with us, send an e-mail to btb@beyondtheball.org. Not only do we offer you a chance to serve, you have an opportunity to learn from the people in our community.

Beyond the Ball Girls

Beyond the Ball recognizes that girls and young women are often left to sit on the sidelines, while the young men get attention through sports. Girls are not only a part of all of our programs, we have a specific program just for them.

Thanks for your interest in Beyond the Ball! Your gifts are tax-deductible. You can see to the left a few ways you might be able to support our mission to empower youth to change their community, not escape it. We work with families, local schools, and community organizations, to improve not only individual lives, but our community as a whole.

If you look at the list of our programs, you can see we do quite a bit in our target communities. Many of our partners have asked us to do even more. To meet the demand, we could really use your help. We are grateful for any type of support you can offer.

If you would like to support us financially, send your tax-deductible gift to:
