GRAYSLAKE, Ill. - AussieJournal -- 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 13^th 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.
