Dick and Berman Team Page

From a young age, sports have both captured our imaginations and employed our energies. In the beginning it was purely the fun of the game that drew us to the fields and the courts. From those initial moments during competition the path was discovered which would ultimately create the fibers for personal discovery, physical health, forming relationships, and on top of that a host of unforgettable memories. The simple games that we grew up playing taught us so much about the realities of the world and how to overcome hardship, succeed, and work together with people to achieve a common goal. Now having shared a life full of sports memories and lessons we have the ability to take a step back and reflect on the lessons sports have taught us. We are eager to challenge ourselves again, have fun and meet new people while raising funds for an organization that promotes all of these values. We were granted the opportunity at a young age to discover life through sports and our goal in raising funds for the Bay State Games is to continue to provide those opportunities to people inspired by sports.

The Bay State Games is a 501©-(3) non-profit organization that sets out to promote health, physical fitness, education, sportsmanship and personal development through athletic, educational and health related programs. Over 50,000 Massachusetts participants, ranging in age from 6 to over 86 take part in the various programs of the Bay State Games.
