A GRIP of Gratitude!

Scott Grzesiak (Chicago, 2007) was to happy to share with the DeVos staff that he used his $1000 grant to purchase jerseys for his ministry’s Miracle Basketball League.


The summer league meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings where GRIP Outreach For Youth conducts nine games from 7-10pm, serving 18 local churches with approximately 300 teens throughout the evening. According to Scott, before each game the teams listen to a powerful testimony, and at center court each game is launched with prayer. 


Scott said, “the jerseys are simple so that we can possibly use them for other sports [such as flag football].”


Via email, a very grateful Scott says, “Please give my warmest ‘thank you’ to the DeVos family.”
