San Jose, CA — December 8, 2025 — GetSportsFocus (GSF) proudly announces the 4th Annual GSF Stand Up and Support: Anti-Bullying and Suicide Prevention Senior All-Star Games, one of Northern California’s premier postseason showcases for high school football and girls flag football. This year’s event received over 400 athlete nominations and will feature more than 200 student-athletes representing 84 schools — the largest All-Star Experience in GSF history.
A Mission Bigger Than Football
The All-Star Experience is built around the GSF Stand Up and Support Initiative, a movement focused on raising awareness around bullying, depression, anxiety, and suicide prevention.
GSF uses this platform to empower student-athletes to become ambassadors for positivity, leadership, and mental health advocacy.
“I want to thank Coach Cordero and the rest of the coaches for taking on this holiday project. This is a major event that is going to take place on the 29th. We intend to put on an entertaining show. I also want to thank our sponsors South Bay Construction, Summit Partners, Ace Renovations Inc. and Loaded Your Way. Loaded Your Way is the official caterer of GSF Special Events. We still have room for two or three more sponsors and advertisers.”
— Alf Joaquin, Executive Producer of GetSportsFocus
