My name is Coach Marcus Green, Vice President and Assistant Head Coach for the Calumet City Thunderbolts 11u team, proud Midwest Regional Champs. I am reaching out to our community, family, and friends to help us raise the support needed to send our team to Naples, Florida from December 5-13th, where these dedicated young athletes have earned the chance to compete for a National Championship.

This opportunity is the result of months of hard work, discipline, and teamwork both on and off the field. Our players have shown incredible commitment, balancing their studies and athletics, and now they have the chance to represent not just Calumet City, but the entire Midwest region on a national stage. However, with the tournament quickly approaching, we are facing significant expenses for travel, lodging, meals, and transportation to make this trip possible for every player and coach.

We are asking for your support to help us reach our fundraising amount. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to making this dream a reality for these deserving student athletes. Please consider contributing and sharing our story so the Thunderbolts can proudly represent Illinois and the Midwest at the National Championship. Thank you for believing in our team and helping us make unforgettable memories!
