Good Sports Heartbreakers Marathon Team! Good Sports has a limited amount of numbers available for the 2008 Boston Marathon®, and we’re looking for motivated and hard-working runners to represent our organization. It’s no secret these numbers can be tough to come by, and all Good Sports asks in exchange for this opportunity is your efforts in fundraising to help support our cause in making sure disadvantaged youth receive the equipment they need to participate in sports. If you’re interested in running, please fill out the attached application and follow the instructions for submission. Additionally, if you have any questions about the process, feel free to contact Davin dlencz@goodsports.org.

While the NBA returned to the leather basketballs, nearly 5,000 of the new, unused synthetic balls designed for the world’s best players have been donated to youth sports organizations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania. To date, the donations have impacted 60 organizations and nearly 12,000 children.
Taylor Twellman Runs Clinic for Young PlayersTaylor Twellman hosted a private soccer clinic on behalf of Good Sports on September 24, 2007.
The clinic was an auction item at the 4th Annual Legends of the Ball event, where the lucky winners also received four tickets in the clubhouse for a New England Revolution game, two spots in the Pre-Game Rally Tunnel and a team-signed soccer ball. Twellman ran fundamental drills with 16 future stars, and also spent time with the kids answering questions and signing autographs. Good Sports is thankful to Twellman and the New England Revolution for taking part in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
