“Bolingbrook the community and Bolingbrook Football have both been important in shaping my life. As a resident since 1982 and proud Bolingbrook Football Alum I have come to realize the tremendous impact that both have had in helping me and my family. Bolingbrook Football taught me lessons of hard work, accountability, humility and teamwork that I still live by today. These lessons have guided me to success in both my personal and professional life. As a community, Bolingbrook is rich with diversity and inclusion. The experience of Bolingbrook has helped me learn and appreciate the value of ALL people, regardless of race, creed or color. Bolingbrook is an example of community that the world can learn from.

 

My Bolingbrook experience inspired the creation of the Bolingbrook Football Alumni Network - “BFAN”. Our goal is to galvanize and mobilize all Bolingbrook Football Alumni, while leveraging the strong brand and tradition that Bolingbrook Football has created. Our mission is to help enrich the Bolingbrook Community through football as we work to develop young men as students, athletes, and upstanding members of the community.

 

So along with a strong team of dedicated Raider alums, Raider Parents and other supporters, and with the endorsement of Bolingbrook Football and Athletic department we have created this non-profit organization. As an autonomous non-politically affiliated entity we are focused solely on three objectives:

 

1. Serve and provide support to current, future and past Raider Football players, coaches and teams

2. Enrich the Community of Bolingbrook and its youth

3. Memorialize Raider Football and the winning brand that has been created

 

We are counting on YOU to help us make a difference! #RaiderPride
