Welcome to the G for Kids website.  We hope you will find it to be a useful tool for communication and information regarding our family’s charitable foundation; this foundation was formed to continue to serve the needs of children in Visalia and Tulare County.

Since our family moved to Visalia in 1993, my wife Shelly and I have focused the majority of our charitable giving towards the needs of underprivileged and disadvantaged children in Tulare County such as the Boys and Girls Club of Tulare County and the Heart Program.  The creation of G for Kids, a non-profit family foundation, is designed to provide a lasting source of financial assistance for children in our community.

We have many reasons for formalizing our efforts, but primarily we felt it would be an important learning experience for our children, allowing them to feel the sense of community responsibility that Shelly and I feel very deeply. It will also help our children understand the challenges that those who are less fortunate in our community face, and it will give them a tool to help solve problems and overcome obstacles.  In short, G for Kids allows us to become more involved and reminds us to lead by example.

This website is designed to assist in promoting various fund-raising endeavors that our foundation is participating in throughout Tulare County.  We invite your interest, your input, and your support.
