The "Pay It Forward" Titan Award
Donation protected
Hi all,
My name is Gabe Gelves, I am part of the 2018 graduating class at Holy Trinity. Throughout my time at Trinity, there have been a countless number of people I have encountered that were major influencing factors that were able to lead me to some of the biggest blessings of my life. I was a 2 year starter on the football team, a team captain, and All-League selection my senior year. Although the memories I gained were some of the greatest of my life, the relationships I built trump all.
I attended Temple University where I was able to walk-on to the football team there; without some of the people that I met during my time at Trinity and the relationships I was able to build, I would have never been able to accomplish as much as I have.
Now that my football career is over, I am looking for ways to be able to give back to a student who was in a similar position I was: a hungry, determined student-athlete who was a great player on the field, but strives to be a better person off. For those reasons, I am creating this scholarship.
This November, I will be running the Philadelphia Half Marathon. To fundraise for the scholarship, I will be asking ALL OF YOU to donate a certain amount of $ per mile. For example, if you would like to donate $1 per mile, your donation would be $13.10, if you would like to donate $10 per mile, your donation would be $131.
All of the money will go to a student-athlete who exemplifies what it means to be a Titan on, and off the field.
This is my, and all of your's opportunity to help change somebody's life and pay forward the many blessings we all may have received throughout our lives.
Thank You!!!!
