Stand with Coach Griffith: Together We Can Save a Life

For over a decade, Dale Griffith has been a teacher, coach, and mentor who has lifted up Seattle’s youth with everything he has.

He’s poured his voice, his time, and his love into classrooms, sidelines, and community programs—often when no one was watching. He’s cheered for our kids, celebrated their victories, and helped them believe in themselves when no one else did.

Now, Dale is in the fight of his life. And this time, he can’t win it alone.

The Battle He’s Facing

In 2021, Dale was diagnosed with renal kidney failure after years of hypertension. By December 2023, his health declined to the point where he now spends 12+ hours a week on dialysis—hooked up to a machine, fighting for strength.

Even through the exhaustion, Dale hasn’t stopped showing up for others. But the truth is: this disease doesn’t just attack the body. It drains the spirit, the finances, and the future.

That’s why we’re rallying around Dale to raise $50,000–$75,000 for his medical care, living needs, and support through this fight.

Why This Goal Matters

When a man has touched as many lives as Dale has, this number is not impossible—it’s just about us coming together.

Think about it this way:

    •    If 1,000 people gave $50, we’d reach the goal.

    •    If each person shares this with their school, alumni group, church, or workplace, the reach multiplies.

    •    If entire organizations stand with Dale, what feels impossible becomes unstoppable.

This isn’t just about raising money. It’s about showing Dale the same unstoppable support he’s given our community for years.
