In Today's society there is nothing more important to us than our youth. Their development
is vital for their future as well as our own. Regardless of the differences in today's
youth when compared to past generations, there has always been a sociological fact that has never changed.
The constant fact is there are leaders and followers in every school classroom. These leaders all
exemplify confidence, high self-esteem, tenacity and passion towards their goals. Within all
student bodies across the country, student athletes have proven themselves to be some of
the best leaders within their peer groups and have gone on to become great leaders in our
society. Our concept is to harness this natural occurrence and increase the amount of leaders
we have in our school systems. Developing character and setting leadership standards
for today's youth is the main focus for Blue Chips For Life, Inc., (BCFL)
A few wonderful "by-products" will be created as a result of the BCFL efforts in every
town that embraces our program. Not-for-profit organizations needing volunteer staffing will be provided
a large pool of student athlete volunteers. Thousands of dollars will be raised to support various children based charities and
foundations such as the YMCA, United Way, Children Hospitals, children developmental programs,etc. BCFL
will provide high level sport camp programs to all student athletes.
Additionally our organization will offer college scholarship opportunities to student athletes
who participate in the BCFL Scholarship Program.
With your involvement, your community will benefit from the BCFL program in
many ways. I invite you to look through our web site and encourage you to look
for the positive impact that Blue Chips For Life, Inc. will have on your children and your community.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to visiting your community in the near future.
Sincerely,
Steve Gregory
