BEYOND THE GAME
Beyond The Game empowers youth to excel in all facets of life. With your help, we are able to change the lives of kids by providing them with opportunities to reach success in many aspects of their lives. Our program was founded in 2016 with the goal to touch as many young adults as possible. Today, we have reached over 3,600 kids through our Guys With Ties and Girls With Pearls programs as well as over 6,000 kids through different camps and events. In addition, we have had the pleasure of donating over $200,000 in supplies to families in need while impacting 7 different states. If you would like to donate to our cause, you can do so through the link below. We thank you in advance for your support and look forward to what the future will bring!

OUR RECENT WORK
Bourbon With The Buckeyes
Our young Guys With Ties & Girls With Pearls members helped to raise over $100k for our programs with the help of some of our Ohio State Buckeye friends, at our first annual Bourbon With The Buckeyes event! Our kids left a heartfelt impression on the guests by showing strong introductions, kindness, etiquette and leadership skills!
Guys With Ties Visit THE Buckeyes
20 Guys With Ties members attended an Ohio State Football practice as a result of being chosen as the top leaders of their schools! They brought encouraging signs and got to meet their favorite players. They also introduced themselves to head coach Ryan Day and delivered handwritten thank you notes.

Our 2023 FNL Camp served over 250 kids at the Pro Football hall of Fame Fields in Canton Ohio. A special thank you to Cleveland Browns Tight End Harrison Bryant, former Ohio State football star Braxton Miller & former Ohio State Football coach Jim Tressel for giving kids an amazing experience!
Alliance Enhances Social Development
Alliance Elementary School was featured for their Girls With Pearls and Guys With Ties programs and the impact of both social and emotional development in the kids who attend and how students benefit from being part of a group that are striving to positively contribute to their school and community.
