State Champs and Game Changers

The Red Bank (NJ) Catholic High School Varsity Football team, lead by head coach Michael Lange, won their second NJ state championship in the last three years. That’s impressive! But we think it’s even more remarkable that they achieved this while also leading a fabulous RallyCap Sports flag football program ever Saturday morning during their season. That is not just a sporting achievement, that is life changing achievement! That selfless act is the epitome of sharing one’s God-given gifts with others. We are SO PROUD to be associated with this fantastic high school and football team!

 

A Special Moment

Posted by our Executive Director, Luke Sims, in February:
On Sunday, I attended the final session of our Bowling Green State University chapter's health and wellness season. It was a fun event and I have many wonderful pictures, but today I find myself reflecting on the two moments depicted in the pictures below.
This is Leya. She is French and she is newer to our BGSU chapter. The first picture is at the end of the session, where everyone puts their hand in for a 1-2-3 "Rally Cap" cheer. The second picture, I happened to catch the moment she went to her mother to show her the medal she won. Both pictures are stuck in my mind and heart today. Leya is glowing. She is overflowing with acceptance, self-confidence, excitement and joy. She's included and proud. This is what RallyCap Sports is all about.”

 

Running for RallyCap

We are SO proud of the 11 runners who represented RallyCap Sports in the 2024 NYC Marathon on November 3rd. Each of these individuals was tasked with raising $2,500 for RallyCap, and what they accomplished was amazing. Together, they raised $39,700 for RallyCap Sports!!!

Check out some pictures of our runners.

We have various opportunities to represent RallyCap Sports in running events (NYC Half, NYC Marathon, Spring Lake 5, and more). If you are interested in learning more about this, please email us at info@rallycapsports.org

Annual Holiday Party at Bowling Green State University

The annual holiday party at our Bowling Green State University Chapter in Bowling Green, Ohio (where Paul and Margo are alums) has become an event everyone looks forward to! They play games, they dress up, they do crafts – it’s become a special way to wrap up the fall semester. Our BGSU chapter has been going strong for 10 years! This chapter has become such a special place for many NW Ohio families and BGSU students.

 

University of Michigan -

RallyCap Sports at the University of Michigan is beginning to pick up some great momentum! We are excited to see this chapter continue to grow and change lives.
