The BEYOND the GOAL LINE Innaugural Gala

BEYOND the GOAL LINE is a long term, perpetual, sustainable organization.    The mission of BEYOND THE GOAL LINE is to help former Ohio State Athletes  who have entered a time of critical need in their lives due to unforeseen detrimental circumstances.  That critical need could be medical, mental, legal, natural disaster, Addiction or even education related.  The  Board of Directors of “Beyond the Goal Line” will be tasked with sourcing corporate sponsors, creating management committees, fundraising programs, events and opportunities, from which the proceeds will be used to create  “Beyond the Goal Line” financial assets.  Those assets will be distributed fairly and philanthropically to select, approved and deserving former Ohio State Athletes with demonstrated insurmountable hardship.  That same Board will contain committees assigned to Fundraising Events, Financial, Legal, Media, Physical and Mental Health, natural disaster and Philanthropy.  These committees will be tasked with managing their areas of responsibility within Beyond the Goal Line as well as evaluating the validity and severity of hardship cases and determining what form and levels of support can be provided.  Beyond the Goal Line will begin serving former football players in dire need, but will expand with a phase two, which will aid all sports, genders and persuasions of Ohio State Former Athletes.
