Tailgate Party
Gala/Party for The Locker FoundationOct 27, 2024 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
In 2008, Karen Crosby met with a group of Georgetown High School athletes that had a desire to serve others. They wanted to be more than just athletes; they wanted to give back to their community. After meaningful discussions, thoughtful planning, and determining a set of goals…The Locker was established.
The Locker has expanded to other schools across the state of Texas. These new chapters are making a difference to their students and communities. Each of these programs are coordinated through The Locker Foundation.
The Locker provides life-enhancing items to help students succeed.
caps and gowns
sports equipment and physicals
extra-curricular expenses
academic fees
field trip fees
work clothes
emergency dentist visits
bicycles and helmets.
These items help students succeed. It allows them to stay involved in school activities and connected to school coaches, teachers, and peers. Research, like the 40 Developmental Assets, shows that children that are engaged are more successful.
The Locker provides necessities to students in need:
NEW clothing and shoes
healthy snacks
water
bedding
hygiene items
school supplies
hese basic items are tools necessary to ensure success in school and everyday life. These items enable students to focus on school and be more successful as a result. We have physical “lockers” on campuses throughout the state of Texas. All lockers are open for every student, no questions asked.
Our event, The Tailgate Party, will celebrate our humble beginnings of The Locker while serving as a fundraiser whose proceeds will go to the continuation and expansion of our programs. We truly thank you for your support.
