Paris 2018 Gay Games 10 Scholarship
Tax deductible
The Federation of Gay Games Scholarship Committee is made up of athletes and artists from around the world, whose lives have been changed by participation in the quadrennial Gay Games.
Martha Ehrenfeld and Carla McKay are matching the funds received by December 31, 2016 up to $20,000.
Martha and Carla have been generous donors to the Gay Games of both their time and money over the years. I first met them in 2006 when they agreed to run a tennis venue for the Chicago Gay Games. They did not know me but they knew I needed help and stepped in to assist without question. They are extraordinary women who hold a deep passion for the Gay Games and how the Gay Games can impact the lives of so many people from around the world.
Martha and Carla have experienced the inclusion the Gay Games allow by participating and achieving their personal bests. Now, they want to share this life-changing experience with those who would not otherwise have the opportunity.
