- Personal Journals
When Blake graduated college, he moved to Chicago and was a volunteer at the Children’s Hospital his younger brother spent time at as a child with a congenital heart defect.
While making his rounds, Blake met so many incredible kids. And while many were sports fans, most had never been to a sports game. Blake knew this is how he could help these kids even more.
In 2002 he created Special Spectators, a non-profit creating VIP all-access game day experiences for seriously ill children. They will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this year!
Blakes sits down with Robert to talk about Special Spectators, the impact of players & coaches, and a bit about his junior & senior high school years at Cranbrook.
