One-man volleyball team Bob Holmes joins forces with NFL legend Doug Plank to support local schools, veterans, and food pantries
GRAYSLAKE, Ill. - ColoradoDesk -- This September, Grayslake's bravest will take to the volleyball court in a unique community event like no other. Nationally known motivational speaker and one-man volleyball team Bob Holmes, also known as "Beat Bob," will take on members of the Grayslake Police and Fire Departments in a high-energy, family-friendly showdown aimed at raising funds and food for local causes.
The event is scheduled for September 13th at the College of Lake County gymnasium and will include appearances by Doug Plank, former Chicago Bears safety, and potentially other NFL alumni.
Bob Holmes is no ordinary athlete. As a one-man volleyball team, he has played more than 20,000 games across the country, taking on pro athletes, entire student bodies, and even military teams. His mission: to deliver a message of perseverance, resilience, and hope, while taking a powerful stand against bullying, teenage suicide and vaping. Through his high-energy games and motivational talks, Bob empowers audiences to rise above adversity and stand up for themselves and others.

This event is powered by Inspire.World, a purpose-driven fundraising platform that works closely with schools, sport teams, churches, and nonprofits to empower year-round giving.
