Donate to the Louie Gonzales Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Gladstone Park Neighborhood Association Louie Gonzales Memorial Scholarship is named to honor Louie Gonzales,  a long time resident of the Gladstone Park community, who's commitment to the youth of our community was evidenced by his long-tenured coaching career, especially for the football program at St. Tarcissus School.  Louie was one of the first victims of the coronavirus, which took his life way too soon in March, 2020. In his honor, we are proud to present a $500 award to a Gladstone Park student who will be attending college or trade school.
