Kelley Donovan of the Panther Sports Club submitted this item.

The challenges during this year's economic downturn are making things even tougher for some families in our Bolingbrook community. Fortunately, the young ladies of Panther Sports Club In House Volleyball program decided to help.

This past weekend during the programs first round of playoff games - teams supplied enough food and gift cards for 23 families to have a complete Thanksgiving meal. The teams brought supplies which were assembled and delivered by members of the Panther Board - Christine Buerger (In House Volleyball Commissioner) and Ron Dodd (SlowPitch Softball Commissioner). Nicole Donovan, 9, currently a team member on the Flash, said "It makes me feel warm in my heart to know that we are helping someone else".

Panther Sports Club provides year round sporting opportunities for our Bolingbrook girls and the surrounding communities in Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball starting at age 5 through High School. The organization has approximately 200 girls playing volleyball and our basketball season gets underway in December.

Even though the winter temperatures are setting in - it will not be long before we will be starting workouts for our 2009 Softball season. Our Slowpitch/ Fastpitch Softball registration will formally start in January and continue into February of 2009, and you can register NOW for FastPitch softball online.

Panther Softball offers a winter conditioning program for 12 weeks at the Bulls Sox Training Academy for any experience level. For more information or to sign up for the winter clinics - visit www.PantherSportsClub.com and check out our Fast Pitch site. We are looking for girls of all ages who are interested in playing softball to register for the 2009 spring/summer season.
