With community involvement being a part of Gol nity’s mission, Bergman said the business supports local Parent Teacher Associations, and last year, the club donated to over 55 charitable organizations. Gol nity is looking to expand in other communities. Bergman said the goal this year is to have three new markets in development, but the locations are not yet pinned down. Silva said that it is critical for Gol nity not to lose sight of the club’s original mission. “Our mission started with bridging the gap of a sport with young adults,” he said. “Everything we do, all the services we o er, is to ensure that initial vision stays intact.”

Bergman said Gol nity’s one-stop- shop is a “fusion of entertainment, work and the overall social develop- ment aspect” of the game.
