On February 22, 2024, the Board of Directors made the significant decision to dissolve the John Gogian Family Foundation. This was a historic step, one that was met with both reflection and gratitude from each of the seven standing members.
We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for the honor and privilege of being part of this extraordinary journey. Serving on the Board has been a gift to all of us, allowing us to carry out John Gogian’s legacy in ways that will stay with us forever.
Through our roles, we have had the opportunity to visit places we may never have discovered on our own. These visits opened our eyes to the incredible work being done by our partner organizations, particularly in support of abused, neglected, elderly, and disabled populations. Witnessing firsthand the impact of our Foundation’s contributions has been humbling and inspiring.
The countless site visits, the meetings with dedicated individuals, and the chance to see John’s vision come to life have been invaluable experiences. John Gogian brought us together, and in the process, we have formed a tight-knit family bound by our shared commitment to his mission.
As we move forward, we will carry with us the memories, the friendships, and the profound sense of purpose that defined our time with the Foundation. Though this chapter is coming to a close, the impact of John Gogian’s legacy will continue to resonate not only in our lives but also in the lives we have touched.
Thank you to each and every one of you for your dedication, your passion, and your unwavering support throughout this journey. It has been an honor to serve alongside you all.
With heartfelt gratitude, Dan, Kate, Gary, Becky, Carole, Greg and Tom
