Fil-Am Basketball of Glendale Heights is a licensed non-profit sports organization designed to coordinate basketball events and programs for Filipino-American community not only in Glendale Heights but also in nearby cities and suburbs. Through year round basketball tournaments and leagues, Glendale Heights has become the melting pot of all races, uplifting and sharing their own cultural heritage and practices.

Fil-Am was formerly known as Chicago, Barangay Lions, then Bloomingdale, which existed since 1986 with the name Phil-Am, an association of Glendale Heights which is run by excellent basketball volunteers and community leaders.

As of today, we, the people of Glendale Heights are very proud to have its name "Glendale Heights" back to us, no longer Barangay Lions, Chicago, nor Bloomingdale but Fil-Am Basketball of Glendale Heights.
