Description

Graeme Preston made an impression on everyone he met. Courageous, compassionate, and caring to the end, he taught us that kindness is contagious. The Graeme Preston Foundation for Life was created to honor, celebrate and pass along Graeme's infectious, unflagging spirit.

The Festival of Friends picnic is a family event that has activities for people of all ages.  Annually we have over 1,000 people attend each year and this is our primary fundraising event.  The day features live music, food, swimming, a ropes course, 3 v3 soccer tournament, children's games and our gift auction.

The Graeme Preston Foundation supports individuals and groups who demonstrate and uphold the principles by which Graeme lived. From offering scholarships to deserving youth, to helping local families who have suffered an unexpected loss or hardship, we impact and enrich lives any way we can.

Thanks to the generous donations and support we have received from you, the Graeme Preston Foundation for Life has been able to grant over $625,000 to families and organizations in our communities.
