Thanks to your generosity, our fundraiser was a major success!

Thank you for believing in our mission! With your support, we raised over $35,000 to bring mentorship, goal-setting skills, and positive role models into local classrooms. Your support keeps students moving forward and believing they can reach the end zone.

If you did not get a chance to give during the campaign, it is not too late! Every contribution continues to make a difference for our students. Your generosity puts them on a path to success, giving them the tools to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. A donation of $250 supports a full year of mentoring and activities for one student, and any amount is sincerely appreciated.

It's Game Time and You're on the Team!

Goals For Life has a record of 36 years of success, impacting the lives of over 100,000 young people who needed us. We truly could not have done it without your support and generosity; it takes teamwork to win! Now we are taking our annual fundraiser online. We invite our community to rally together in a new way to fuel programs that mentor and inspire local students.

A great benefit of the longevity of the Goals for Life program is we often get to see how our students have benefitted from the program. An amazing example is Bobby Jones, who was a Goals For Life student in middle school. Bobby went on to earn his university degree, was the 37th pick in the NBA Draft, played pro basketball, and became a certified yoga instructor. Things came full circle, as Bobby is now on the Goals For Life team. He has been a GFL mentor for four years, teaching success principles and yoga to our students!

Every dollar you give helps us provide mentorship, resources, and opportunities for students who need us most.

Sponsor a student for $250 and directly change a life! Any amount you give makes a difference and every contribution counts!

Board Member Steve Murow and Executive Director Ricky Ellis at John Glenn High School during the scholarship presentation.

We’re proud to share that longtime Board Member Steve Murrow recently awarded $1,000 scholarships to two outstanding students at John Glenn High School in the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District. That’s $2,000 in support of their educational journey!

A huge thank you to Steve for all that he does to uplift and support our students and community. His generosity is a reminder of the life-changing impact one person can have.

You can be part of that impact, too. Help us continue this important work of mentoring youth, supporting education, and building brighter futures!
