So many people to thank: First - all the checkpoint sitters who drove to the far flung sites and waited for the cars. They were: 1. Holly and Brad Bourda, 2. Russell and Brad Garon, 3. Tommy Balderrama and Bri Chew, 4. Jim Balderrama, and Emily Balderrama. 5. Holly and Aaron Aguirre. Thanks - you helped make the whole event possible!

If you didn’t make the Rally and lunch - you can still donate via Venmo: @Greggs-Goals We had an impressive group of scholarship winners this year!

Spread the word: The 2021 Scholarship applications are posted on our website: www.wwggd.org.

Coming in 2021: 1. Yes, we do still plan to give out scholarships in 2021. We are working on the application and will post it SOON here and on the website. 2. We are currently planning fundraisers: we will probably have another Car Rally due to uncertainty about COVID restrictions, and have a catered event, hopefully, at our home or a park as an ending point. Projected date is June 12. 3. We also hope to have a Golf Tournament - some members are working on that. 4. I have ...items for a Raffle - first prize is airline tickets, so we may wait a few months before we start that. Thanks to all for your ongoing support - please keep watching for updates!

We were so excited to receive the graduation Announcement from Carisa Hilton. Carisa was a 4 year GG Scholarship winner - and is now completing her 10 months of supervised internship, to become a Registered Dietitian. And, as important, she is a lovely young woman who has stayed in touch with us. . .and gives thanks to all you supporters!

Today's is Gregg's birthday - he would have been 52 this year (!) Gregg's Goals was created to honor his memory. We are so happy to see all the young people who have been able to receive scholarships! And thanks to all of you who continue to support us! A few photos: Gregg as a baby, an early soccer team, high school goalkeeper and coaching Colin's team.

We want to once again thank all of you who have donated to Gregg's Goals this year. . .as well as those who participated in the Car Rally and the Silent Auction. I have added a photo from 2019 with the scholarship winners from then! 2020 has been a tough year - and because of your support, it looks like we are almost where we were last year (in terms of funds for next year's scholarships!). So, we should again be to provide scholarships to all the deserving young people selected!

We gave out the two final scholarships this week: Michelangelo Harte and AJ Castellanos! Thanks again to everyone who helped us to be able to continue to help these great young people in continuing their education!

Well, finally unwound enough to crunch some numbers from the Gregg’s Goals Great Car Rally fundraiser (and online auction) this week-end! First we’d like to again thank everyone who did the rally, bid on the silent auction, gave personal donations and/or worked their rears off to make this thing work during this pandemic!! All you guys are amazing! (Extra kudos to Jennisah, who ran the online auction .. while pregnant!!) Numbers ended up being better than expected!! We gave ...out $18000 in scholarships this year. We made almost $13000 total on the event (it’s a great start toward next year)!!! Thank you again, everyone! There is a YouTube on Facebook from our recipients that you can view!! See more
