How Your Child's Team Can Score Big This Year

August 7, 2024

Did you know that insured GBU youth members can receive up to $250 for their recreational club? 

It’s that’s time of the season with youth sports in full swing!

GBU’s Team to Team program was created to help offset costs associated with our youth members’ schools and recreational clubs. Examples of qualifying group types include academic, athletic, art, musical, recreational and youth groups.  
 
Pretty cool, huh?  
 
But that’s not it ... if the team has five or more insured GBU members, you can apply for a team sponsorship of up to $5,000! 
 
In order to qualify, the GBU youth member must be a participating member of the team, and GBU's sponsorship must be acknowledged in some way, such as a program ad, t-shirt logo, field sign, etc. 
 
Limit to one sponsorship per member per year. Terms and conditions for this benefit are based on funds availability and are subject to change at any time. 

Insured GBU youth members can apply for a team sponsorship under this program. Please note that sponsorship checks must be made out to the booster organization and cannot be issued to the member directly.

The GBU Life Scholarship Awards support students in college, trade programs, non-college programs, and graduate school, helping them achieve their dreams, setting them on a career path and realizing life goals. Since its founding, the GBU Foundation has awarded 4,500 scholarships and educational grants totaling more than $3.2 million. In 2025, 215 members received $226,000 to support their two‑year, four‑year and graduate studies. Here’s a look at where the rubber meets the road — as we check in on past grantees to see how their scholarship awards have helped them stay on course, where they are now, and where they hope to be in the future.
