ABOUT US
GBAF
The Grand Blanc Athletic Foundation recognizes the work of boosters and teams fundraising independently. With no desire to undercut those valuable efforts, the Foundation organizers saw a need for larger-scale possibilities to be realized with an umbrella 501 (c)3 that will benefit all Grand Blanc student-athletes.

Grand blanc high school THERMAL THERAPY UNITS
The GBAF approved to fund in full the procurement of two
ThemX Thermal Therapy units along with accessory hook-ups
and travel cases. These units will benefit and have immediate
impact on the student-athletes recovery from injury. These

that we could fund this need for our GBHS student-athletes.
