After an incredible season and a hard-fought victory in the American Youth Football Midwest Regional Championship, the 11U Calumet City Thunderbolts have earned a spot at the AYF National Playoffs/Championship in Naples, Florida on December 7th. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our team to represent Calumet City, the south suburbs, and the greater Illinois area on a national stage.

We are determined to make sure every player can participate in this amazing event, regardless of their financial situation. The funds raised will go directly toward covering travel, lodging, meals, and other essential expenses for the team. By coming together as a community, we can ensure that these young athletes experience the rewards of their hard work and dedication, both on and off the field.

With your help, we as a village can provide this opportunity for a group of young boys, showing that when academics are in order, our community and state will support youth doing positive things. Please consider supporting the Thunderbolts and helping us make this dream possible. Every donation, big or small, brings us one step closer to Naples!
