THE GATOR GOOD TEAM

Is there someone you think needs to experience the magic of The Swamp? Contact us today and tell us their story!

GETTING THEM TO THE SWAMP SINCE 2018

Our story starts from a simple beginning. In 2018 we learned about a young man, Kentavien "Scoot" Walker. This young man had a problem, the football team for his high school was consistently picking on and harassing him. As his mother posted about it on social media, our hearts were touched and we knew there was something we needed to do about it. We wanted to show him the kindness in the world, but didn’t know how.

Then we learned we had something in common with Scoot. We were all Gator fans. That’s when we decided to set up a GoFundMe campaign and get him to his first Gator football game. To many it seems like something small, but to a true member of Gator nation, it’s the most magical thing in the world. Sometimes it just takes one simple piece of magic to change a life.

The campaign was so successful and the difference for that young man so profound, that we’ve been working to send more people to The Swamp ever since.

DO YOU WANT TO HELP SOMEONE SPECIAL EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF A GATOR FOOTBALL GAME?

HELP US MAKE THIS DREAM COME TRUE FOR A MEMBER OF GATOR NATION AND DONATE HERE!

OUR TEAM

Making dreams come true takes an incredible group of people dedicated to showing others the kindness and good in the world. It can often seem like those people are hard to find, but our team is full of them.

Plus we’re all Florida Gator fans and devoted members of Gator Nation. What more could you ask for?

Happy Veteran’s Day to our 2023 recipient, Tyson Wills!!! He put his life on the line for our country for nearly three decades, serving in three different continents. As a recruiter, he enlisted 348 Airmen into the Air Force. We are safe because of him. Thank you, sir 🫡🇺🇸

A true American hero 🫡🇺🇸 doesn’t even matter what happened on the field. Today was a win for #GatorNation. And a win for humanity. Thanks to y’all, this 30-year Air Force vet had the day of his life. #GGF2023

🔥#GGF2023 CAMPAIGN REVEAL🔥 For nearly 30 years, a die hard Gator fan named Tyson has proudly served his country 🇺🇸 in the Air Force. However, his service has kept him from being able to attend a Gator football game in the Swamp. That is, until now. This is his story.

#TBT to that time we finally got to meet our super-donor, Rob Yormack (who graciously provides our winners with Champions Club tickets)! Our co-founder @AllKindsWeatherBlog ran into him just before the Texas A&M game in Aggieland last month! Thank you Rob for all your generosity!!!
