BY PROVIDING STUDENT-ATHLETES FACILITIES THAT ARE SAFE, COMPETITIVE, AND REFLECTIVE OF OUR COMMUNITY VALUES."
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.
