For the past several years, competitors on the football field have joined together to travel to Jamaica to build houses for villagers in need. This is a program started by Rotarian Joey Butler (deceased) and implemented by BSHS coach Matt Marble. This year, there will be approximately 55 young men headed to Jamaica to change the lives of someone they don't know.....yet. These exceptional young men are learning that helping others will enhance their own lives as well.
Under the direction of BSHS coach Matt Marble and BSSHS coach Dan Sundberg, these young men work to earn money to pay their own way to Jamaica. Another one of life's valuable lessons that these volunteers are learning. The service heart is indeed in today's youth.

If you would like to help these young men with their expenses, please contact coach Marble (mmarble@bssd.net) or coach Sundberg (dsundberg@bssd.net).
