As many of you know, our father, Gary Hughes, passed away recently, after a battle with cancer. He was a larger than life man, who loved his family, the game of baseball, and had legions of amazing friends.
To honor his legacy, we are starting the Gary Hughes Keep Swinging Foundation. If you've ever left our dad a voicemail, you'd hear his upbeat recording..."I'm on the move right now...leave me a message and keep swinging!" It somehow encapsulated his dynamic positivity, love of baseball and his 'don't give up/keep going for it' spirit. The Gary Hughes Keep Swinging Foundation will initially be focused on philanthropy for the causes that were near and dear to Gary's heart, beginning with offering a scholarship for a minority student to attend his beloved Serra High School. Those of you who knew our dad know that the connection to his Catholic education was deep and that it represented so many attributes that defined him - friendship, faith, family. In the spirit of one good deed changing someone's life, a scholarship to Serra was something he wanted to bring to fruition as a part of his legacy.
Please use the information below to donate - no contribution is too small. We know his impact went far and wide.
