Celebrating the GVTC Charitable Golf Classic
Our Annual GVTC Charitable Golf Classic, presented by OnTrac, Inc., soared to new heights in 2024, raising an astonishing $270,200! This brings our all-time total to over $2.1 million, all aimed at making a difference in our communities. Huge thanks to our sponsors and business partners, who make this impact possible year after year. We’re excited to see what 2025’s event will bring!
A Season of Giving with the Thanksgiving Give Back Project
For the 12th year, our Thanksgiving Give Back Project served up joy to families in need. Partnering with local food pantries, we provided traditional Thanksgiving meals to families experiencing hardship. This year, we exceeded our goal of serving 518 families, bringing our total to 3,749 families since the project’s start. Thank you to everyone who helped deliver not only meals but also a warm holiday spirit.
Game Day 5K: Where Every Step Makes a Difference!
We held our 2nd Annual community fundraiser, The GVTC Foundation Game Day 5K, presented by Verbalocity, on October 5, 2024. With over 150 participants, we raised more than $18,000. Runners enjoyed a scenic route through Knibbe Ranch, followed by games, treats, and local beverages. Thanks to our sponsors, the Game Day 5K was a success, and we can’t wait to do it again in 2025! Stay tuned for all the details—you won’t want to miss it!
